Thank you QT fabrics for providing Dawn & Dusk panels to make this fabulous OBW quilt.

Terri Butler & I designed a OBW with Dawn & Dusk in Adobe Illustrator first.

The version above was computer generated. I was not able to recreate the same hexagons exactly, but I stayed pretty close. I cut 3.25″ strips using my First-Choice Ruler, that yield 5″ finished hexies.

Hexies sorted by predominate color.

I created 10 ” stars by choosing 2 sets of equilateral triangles to make diamonds and used my Star 60 Tool to cut the side triangles.

hexies are moved around a lot during the design process.

I stitched the top and bottom columns into sections. I top stitched the top section to the panel first. Then I stitched together one column on the right side and stitched it to the panel using a partial seam. Laying the panel on the table, I used the column to determine where to place and top stitch the bottom section by matching up the dog ears. It’s amazing how much the columns shrink once they are stitched together.

The columns above and below the 10″ star 60’s must be stitched together to make them the same width as the larger half hexie. Then they can be stitched into columns and joined together.

Right side attached to the panel section.

Almost ready to blur the edges of the panel.

Dawn & dusk top is all together. The borders are on and the edge are blurred to make it hard to find the edges of the panel. The top measures 69″ x 54″. I’m so in love with Dawn & Dusk. Terri Butler is busy working on her Dawn & Dusk OBW Jacket.
