This hexies project is a bit different. Instead of sewing the hexies together you topstitch them to a piece of fabric and batting.
Let’s learn how to top stitch hexies
English paper piecing (EPP)
There’re only 3 steps to start doing English paper piecing:
- Download the hexagon template (google doc).
- Print the required size (this project uses the 1 inch pattern) on thick or plain paper – I used plain printer paper.
- Cut the patterns and get sewing
Two important points to make:
- Before printing make sure you’re printing at 100% to avoid surprises.
- Leave the paper template in until you have finished sewing all hexies together
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.
- Order Turnabout Patchwork on Amazon
- Order Turnabout Patchwork directly from Martingale (e-book only)

Sewn Up 
Very cool! Thanks for this. I have a bag of hexies all cut out but haven’t seen any instructions online that encourage me to do anything with them. Your video helps–a lot!
