Lincoln’s Wheels

When I first spotted this line of fabric (from Riley Blake) I fell in love. I wanted to find a reason to sew something with it, so I was delighted when my sister chose these fabrics for her new baby’s nursery. I quickly volunteered to make a quilt for my new nephew.
Earlier this Spring I saw a quilt made from fake hexagons (I really wish I could remember where I spotted it!) and wanted to try it out. Since finishing this quilt I’ve had a lot of questions about how it was assembled, so I’ve written a tutorial for fakie-hexagons (I’ll post it tomorrow).

The finished quilt size is 45” x 58”. Most of the fabrics in the quilt come from the Wheels line; I think the only exception is the solid green fabric that I added.

The back is pieced using more of the solid green, bits leftover from the hexagons, and a piece of that great cars fabric. This quilt just screams “boy” to me!

I'm linking this up to Sew & Tell Fridays over at amylouwho. I love visiting each Friday to see what others around the sewing universe have completed each week.
