Mega half hexagons quilt – video tutorial

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:

Rose
Ink
Tan
Fuchsia
Red

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.
