Quilt as you go hexagons

This week a quilting friend showed me a fun little hexagon table topper that she made using a quilt as you go technique. She used some spe...

I am beginning to think that I may not be cut out for hexies - even the large ones. I made some more this week after ignoring my little pile for months. Threw them all on a table and realized I am not even close to a small quilt ... oh dear! Anyway, here are some recent pictures and refresher tips. The template and tutorial are from the Missouri Star Quilt Co. under Quilt As You Go. I also have information from an earlier blog post in 2019 HERE. Of course, cut out your fabric and batting…

These are Hexagons that you quilt as you go. Once you place them together with the template I'm going to mention below, you pin (or use a m...

Emma Jones - EPP & Embroidery on Instagram: "I’ve published a little video on my YouTube channel, all about how I’m making my quilt as you go hexagon quilt. I really think this is the perfect project to work on, you get little finishes when you complete each hexagon, the whole thing can be finished at any size you wish and you can always add more to it later, plus it’s like two quilts in one because the back is pieced too! I hope you like the video if you watch, there’s a link in my profile…

Remember that family reunion I wrote about a couple of days ago? Well at the reunion there was a family store and auction to raise money for the next reunion. One of the women (my second cousin I think) is a quilter and brought a few of these fantastic hand-quilted table toppers to add to the family store. I bought this one immediately! I love the hand quilting she did. Isn't it fantastic? This is a fairly small topper – fits perfectly on my teal bookcase. So far none of the boys in my…

I should be screaming and kicking and pulling my hair out right now. But... I am actually eerily calm after having just discovered that I cannot join the 42 paper pieced hexagons to the Inklingo hexagons (the 42 cream with colored centers and the 4 borders and filler hexes.) If I had used the traditional…

Ye Olde Sweatshop: Quilt as You Go Hexies with Amy Butler

Today I get to share with you a new book with a really nifty way to make double sided quilted hexagons. #sewing #quilting #hexagons #crafts #diy

This is called the "stack and sew" method. I learned about it at a retreat last year. This method has added years on to my life! Basically after you've placed your squares on your design wall (or floor), it's a way of picking up the squares in a certain order into 1 big stack, then sitting down at your machine and chain-piecing the stack together. Read through all directions before starting, and you will see just how easy it is. I'm using JenKingwell's new line called Gardenvale. On the…

Class 3: Hexagons! I am so excited to spend a few months with hexagons! Have you noticed? Our Facebook membership has grown to 1800+! How amazing is it to have a globally active quilting group! Cla…

Quilt as you go hexagons. Just sew binding color of your choice and stitch together hexagons with mono filament.

One of my all time favourite things is to jump into our old tin lizzie and go for a drive with my significant other and see what pot of gol...

Just Stitch The Finished Hexies Together for a Completed Project! Some quilters like making hexies and some don’t. They’re fiddly and require precision. Plus, once they’re made you need to applique them down to a background or carefully stitch them together into a quilt top. These quilt-as-you-go hexies still require precision, but once they’re done …

In my last posting about this project, I was searching for a suitable border fabric. I tried several colours, including some that were suggested in the comments to that post, but in the end I chose…
