Mrs Holder Row 16

My Mrs Holder Reproduction Quilt is progressing well.

Row 16 is on - it has 90 stretched hexagons using  8 different fabrics.

I have used a traditional Cook Island Postage Stamp technique

to keep my hexies in order. I chose the order, laid them 

out around the quilt to check that it would work and then 

threaded them onto a long piece of embroidery 

thread - all six strands.

Just  put a knot on the starting end of the thread so you can easily 

pull one hexie at a time of the other end as you need it.

I had fun raiding my stash of 1800s reproduction fabrics for this row.

Next comes a brown row - also more scrappy.

Back soon.
