Short design primer

Read all about hexagons and the power of this 6-sided shape in quilt-making. You can use templates, precut papers or print shapes onto fabric. This book provides inspiration for using hexagons. Find out all about hexie block making, cutting, sewing, piecing and quilt making. Create tumbling blocks or stretch and skew that hexie to make beautiful quilts. My favourite is the baby heart quilt. Clear instructions with superb photos and colour line drawings. There is a short design primer at the back of the book and templates.

Filled with advice

Everyone who has ever made a quilt have probably made a ‘hexie’ one at some point. The fabulous little six sided shapes are so effective and can be look very beautiful. I have made quilts, bags and even a book cover using these shapes, from 3.4 inch to 5 inch, they really are versatile and clever to use in any pattern. Emily Breclaw’s book, is filled with advice in how to start your project, from what size hexagon to use, to how to sew the little things together. She has included design grids, so you can design your own pattern, and templates to trace around and cut out for even accuracy. There are 11 quilts and 29 blocks in this book, which is more than enough to get you started. The pictures are bright and each project lists materials, cutting and construction, so you really can’t go wrong. EPP..English Paper Piecing..is traditionally a hand stitching project, but small projects can, with a little patience, be tackled on a sewing machine. Sewing with hexagons is so addictive, the act of just sitting and hand stitching them together is a time of quiet and relaxation. I recommend this anyone who suffers from a little stress I adored this book, Emily has brought this craft bang up to date, I particularly liked the ‘Twinkling’ quilt and the ‘Starburst’ pattern is just beautiful.
