More than 140 color images, with both traditional and contemporary designs, show how vintage hexagon textile fragments can be repurposed and fashioned into new, beautiful quilts. Over the last century, hundreds of hexagon (fondly termed "hexie") patterns were published and thousands of quilts were started--yet many of these textiles were never finished. Other quilts were damaged from overuse and neglect. This book shows fifty-two new quilts inspired by these neglected hexagon textiles. See how this basic shape can be employed in a wide variety of combinations and patterns, both traditional and modern. Packed with ideas and tips, this practical yet art-filled guide will inspire quilters to try new designs by drawing on the power of hexies from the past.

The dynamic design duo of Dr. Peggy Rhodes and Julia C. Wood brings new life to the hot trend of quilting with hexagons-they make hand piecing these little gems fast and fun. Use any size circle to yield the hexies you desire. Then use the authors' Reference Guide to determine yardage, another chart to figure how many you'll need, and two sizes of graph paper to draft your own unique hexie design. Make any of the 12 projects or create your own unique hexie quilt. The most common format for hexagon use is Grandmother's Flower Garden, and the authors explain a bit of history for color use and alternate names and arrangements. This book is a true hexie-lovers' delight. OUT OF PRINT

This full-color description of the creation of 22 quilts gives contemporary quilters fresh ideas for injecting their works with energy from repurposed antique textiles, abandoned blocks, and vintage fragments. For each quilt's starting inspiration, a fragment of unfinished vintage quilting was incorporated into a modern quilt aesthetic. The newly-designed "past-combined-with-present" quilt tops were then shipped to one of 22 contemporary quilt artists, each among today's best longarm quilters. The new, innovative quilts serve as a bridge between the vintage past and the modern present. Plus, helpful sections on documentation and on working with vintage fabrics assist readers with combining past and present in their own quilts.
