Another hexagon quilt!
Hexagons are one of my favourite blocks.
This time I’m making a half hexagon quilt using a very large hexagon.
The quilt can be assembled in a couple of days and it’s quick and easy to make.
I used the beautiful new Zen Garden collection by Michael Miller:
- Brilliant blossom in navy – 1 yard
- Viney leaves in navy – 3/4 yard
And half a yard of Cotton Couture solids in:
How to make hexagon quilts with fabric stripes
Notes
A 60 degree ruler is recommended but if you don’t have one you can always use a square ruler with 60 degree markings.
Each strip, 4 1/2″ x width of fabric, shields 5 half hexagons measuring 10″ at their base.
- Download a mega hexagon colouring page (.pdf) and play around with colour and placement to come up with your own layout.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
Buy individual chapters of my book
Now that my publisher is going out of business I have bought the rights to publish my book. Now you can download individual chapters. Each digital download is a bundle with 4 quilt patterns in it.
As well as the instructions and fabric needs to make the blocks you’ll find a section on quiltmaking basics at the end of the pattern that discusses:
- Tools
- Squaring up blocks
- Borders
- Assembly and quilting
- Binding
