My cherry blossoms modern\/art quilt is all pieced. It’s about 16 x 22 inches.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll add a border, just black binding.\u00a0 I\u2019m stumped for a name and would welcome suggestions.<\/p>\n

I made a total of 3 blossoms.\u00a0 I stopped at 3 because I wanted it to be a small piece, and also because I have a very limited amount of the black fabric with gold dots – only 2 fat-eighths of each.\u00a0\u00a0 They were left over from the MQG Michael Miller Glitz fabric challenge<\/a>, and I won a package of fat-eighths as a door prize a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

Next, I had to decide how to piece the blossoms with the background pieces.\u00a0 Here are a couple of sketches I made.\u00a0 I used the layout on the left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each blossom is made from 6 triangle-shaped pieces to form a hexagon.\u00a0\u00a0I pieced each blossom into 2 half-hexagon sections, each made of 3 triangles, as my plan was to join the pieces in columns.\u00a0 However, I didn’t want a seam down the center of the large dot pieces, so I cut them as complete hexagons.\u00a0 That made the piecing a bit tricky.\u00a0 I sewed the pieces into columns as much as possible, then dealt with the Y-seams.\u00a0 I won’t lie – there was some un-stitching and re-stitching involved in sewing some of those seams!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here it is all sewn together, and ready to be layered and quilted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Come back in a few days to see how I quilt it.\u00a0 And, as I said at the beginning of this post, I’d love some suggestions for a title for this one.<\/p>\n
