2. For ease in designing, each set of triangles was sewn into (2) sets of (3) triangles. Each
set was auditioned before sewing to see which direction the triangles should be placed to create
the most interesting finished hexagon. The two (1/2) hexagons were pinned together to maintain
continuity. The completed pieces were arranged in rows on a design wall. This is the fun part,
rearranging the pieces until a design or flow is created. Each row has (7) 1/2 hexagons (one up
alternating with one down). Fill in each end with a 1/2 triangle piece. The next row will use the
other 1/2 of the hexagon to complete the rosette. The top row uses (4) 1/2 hexagons and the
bottom row uses (3) 1/2 hexagons. There are (17 rows total.
3. Once the final layout is decided, carefully sew together each row in the designated order.
As each row is completed, sew it to the previous row to prevent any mistakes or shifting of
hexagons.
4. Layer backing, batting, and quilt top. Baste.
5. Quilt as desired.
6. From the leftover 3 1/2” x W.O.F. strips. Cut each into 2 1/2” x W.O.F. Piece as needed
for length. Bind quilt as shown
Your finished quilt will be different than this quilt but it will be equally beautiful, dramatic, and
unique.
