Second hexagon quilt

This is the second hexagon quilt, made by the same maker of the first hexagon quilt.  I will get the full details of name, date and place from my cousin at a later date.  Right now I am just so excited to show you  these fabulous quilts.

This one was also made using hexagons that measure 1 1/4" across.  The quilt was made in a single floret layout, with solid white between the floret.  Each floret is made using the same fabric with a solid white hexagon for the centre.  It measures 87" tall x 76" wide.  

Here is a close up of some of the fabrics used.  This represents a large sample of the fabrics used in this ere.  Another beautiful quilt made with precision.  The picture may show wrinkles but the actual quilt lays completely flat.  I will have to iron carefully before quilting this.

This quilt is also considered done by the maker based on the edges. The top and bottom rows are only 3/4" florets.   I have been looking into the antique/vintage grandmother's flower garden quilts and noting that all of them are quilted just inside each individual hexagon about 1/4".  Only the newer quilts vary from this.  I haven't seen a quilt with this layout yet.  Most of the single florets have a hexagon corner stone between all the florets.  

Just like the first layout that I found only one sample of, that was from a museum dated from 1870s, but was done in browns, beiges and some blues, this layout also seems to be rare.  Most of the grandmother's flower garden quilts are using a double row of hexagons and some with the dividing diamonds, mostly in green.

I will keep looking.  These hexagon quilts have grabbed my interest.  There are so many different styles and patterns it is unbelievable. More to come on hexagon quilts in future post.
