There is a quilt at the American Museum in Britain that I adore.  It is a summer chintz spread, c. 1830, originally from Drayton Hall Plantation, South Carolina.

It has hexagons arranged in floral and star patterns, appliquéd to a white cotton background, with a chintz border.  I sigh just thinking about it.

I went back to my photos from my visit there to see how the fussy cut hexies had been arranged  into the stars and just had to share.

Enjoy!

What is your favourite hexagon quilt?

Happy Stitching!
