July Block - Light to Dark Hexagons

I made this block for the July month of the Hip To Bee Square quilting bee! Sweet Posie asked us to make 12.5 inch blocks for her three year old niece, whose favorite colors are pinks and purples.

 

We were asked to make hexagon or Mondrian style blocks, so I made a combination for the first block (see my photostream). I had plenty of leftover fabric, so I made this hexagon block as well. First, I cut the hexies and hand-pieced them together. I arranged the colors from brightest (top-left corner) to darkest (bottom-right corner). Once all of the hexagons were sewn together into a solid piece, I attached the piece to a white background by sewing around the perimeter.

 

I can't wait to see the completed quilt!
