Swirly Girls Design's Machine Pieced Hexagon Quilt

This hexagon quilt was entirely pieced by machine! So cool!  I wanted to highlight the centers of the hexagon shapes with a feather motif that resembled a flower.  The very center deserved a different design to create more intrigue.  I repeated that center design in shadow hexagons on the four corners of the hexagon rings. These contrasted the flower shapes with straight lines radiating out of the center.  The background filler mimics the swirls in the centers of the hexagon flowers and complements and gives the eye a place to rest.  With simple, thought out designs, the overall look of the quilting is very cohesive and creates a great finished piece!
