Double Take Color Option

Double Take Color Option

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Wondertones collection for Blank Quilting

Consistent color placement of the A pieces creates a design where the hexagonal blocks are more apparent. When assembling, sew together three identical side units around a large C triangle. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke also took the challenge out of choosing which fabric works best for each large triangle by using the same fabric for all of them. While bringing simplicity to the forefront, this color option also lets the hexagons shine as brightly as the triangles.
