The Celadon Cyclogon Quilt Is Begun

                                                                         

  Even more experimental than usual. The Celadon                   CyclogonQuilt is actually short for the "Phase flipped side       slipped single wiggle snub hexagon quilt". Despite it's eight word name this quilt has had a much more informal beginning than mosta sheet of the three axis circle net.  I outlined a single wiggle triangle with a sharpie and blew it up on the copier till it filled the page. I then made six more copies and glue sticked six of them together to make the hexagon in the same scale. I bought three yards each of two shades of sage green solids, and two yards each of chocolate brown and buff solids. I cut out as many single wiggle hexagons I could, being careful not to flip the pattern or fabric, of one shade of green. Then I flipped the pattern so it hooked the other way and cut as many as I could of the other shade.
of my previous quilts. Instead of a fixed plan for size and layout, I just printed



 I then made a bunch of triangles hooking in both colors, hooking both directions and began sewing them together using a print out of the phase flipped side slipped single wiggle snub hexagon from below as a guide. I've been pretty busy this week so I only got in a couple of late night hours progress each day, still it's getting pretty big already. It's already bigger than a baby blanket ( in five days).
