Today's featured quilt is made with African and Australian fabrics in an intriguing hexagon design. Each hexagon block is unique! Fussy cut diamonds emphasize the kaleidoscope effects. It's like seeing constellations in the night sky! Lots of attention is paid to the borders, including extensive beading to add sparkle.

From African to Australia by Ann Adams, quilted by Athena Taylor.
The quilt is constructed of diamonds, hexagons, half hexagons and elongated hexagons. Ann Adams adapted the original pattern from the 'Smitten' Pattern by Lucy Carson Kingwell. She took original hexagon blocks and added border and sashing designs and bead elements.
Ann Adams' beading can be seen in the black border. This must have taken hours, but adds so much beauty to the finished quilt.
