Quilter's Quiz Question!

This is another of Terry Clothier Thompson's quilt tops from MOKA's mini FabriCamp which I attended this past weekend. There's something special about this hexagon quilt top. Do you know what it is? Its obvious if you look at the quilt top but what did it stand for?

I found this so interesting that I'm going to give a prize to the first person who knows the correct answer and makes a comment on this post. I'll announce the winner on Thursday morning, April 22. If no one wins, I get to keep the prize!

I do need to make one rule - If you were at MOKA, please do not make a comment to win the prize. Thanks!

MOKA

MOKA (Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas) is a quilt study group which meets three times a year. On Saturday, I went to the MOKA meeting near Kansas City to hear Terry Clothier Thompson give a mini FabriCamp presentation. She brought some of her collection of quilts, tops and vintage clothing for us to study. It was a wonderful experience and someday soon I hope to go to one of her three day FabriCamps! These are some photos of my favorite quilts. Here's Terri talking about the c. 1864 quilt she calls "The Battle of Blue Mills Landing". The colors are still very vibrant and at first I thought it was a reproduction quilt. The fabric in this quilt turned out to be delaine which has a cotton warp and a wool weft. (I learned that this weekend but please don't ask me which way is warp and which way is weft!) I purchased Terri's pattern for this quilt.

I don't know that I will ever attempt this much applique or hand quilting but isn't this quilt beautiful?

Terry's coming out with a pattern for this strawberry quilt very soon! This is another quilt that I'd make if I were better at applique. I know - practice, practice, practice. I think its the colors and the checkerboard design on the strawberries I like about this one.

This weekend was also the greater Kansas City area ShopHop and so I stopped in at a few shops to purchase some Jo Morton fabrics. I'm still not sure what my next quilting project will be but I'm very tempted to use that new fabric. Hope you all had a great weekend too!
