Empress Garden
This One Block Wonder Quilt was started in a class at A Piece In Time Quilt Shop in November 2011 with my quilting buddies Paula and Carol. Amazingly, only one fabric is used in the center of this quilt. The first technique learned was cutting all those triangles, then sewing them together into half hexagons and sewing the strips into full hexagons row by row. I think the most difficult technique is carefully placing the hexagons to form an interesting pattern or design. But each and every hexagon is just a little different from the previous one, keeping the excitement to see what the next one will look like. 

Empress Garden was displayed at the 2012 Stow-Munroe Falls Library Quilt Show and won a first place and judge's choice award. Also awarded first place at 2013 Baskets of Quilts Cascade Quilt Show in Cuyahoga Falls. It is shown here at the 2013 Lake Farmpark Quilt Show.

Quilt is quilted by Coburn's Quilting with a gingko leaf design.
