Hexagon is a patchwork-look wide back from Patrick’s Promise by Christine Schulte, part of the 108" Premium Quilt Backs line. Hexagons filled with florals, roses, paisleys, leaves, and dots are printed in a rich mix of emerald, sage, olive, chartreuse, and soft yellow, so it looks like an English paper pieced quilt without the hand stitching. It’s 100% cotton and 108/110" wide, with a weight of 144 g/sq m.
The extra width lets you back many larger quilts with little or no piecing, and the busy hexagon design hides quilting stitches beautifully. It’s also a great choice for a quick whole-cloth quilt: layer it with batting, quilt along the hexagon outlines or with an allover design, and you’ll have a finished quilt that looks pieced.
With its many shades of green, Hexagon is a natural fit for St. Patrick’s Day and Irish-themed quilts, garden and botanical designs, and cozy throws. It also coordinates beautifully with green, cream, and gold quilt tops, and makes a striking tablecloth or picnic blanket.
