Topic: New Group created for 2015 BOM (10/25) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month journey into the land of childhood memory with a charming quilt designed especially for TQS by internationally-known Australian designer Lynette Anderson. Lynette combines simple, unpretentious folk art style appliqué motifs with patchwork blocks for a quilt that will be lots of fun to make. Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. We will once again be offering monthly companion teaching videos as well. It all makes for a year of fun and learning!

I watched a couple of videos to help me with the hexagons and that certainly helped. I used glue at first and then found if I just pre-crease the folds and then baste around the hexagon that works well without the glue. I cut Sulky stabilizer using the small hexagon template, ironed that to my fabrics, then cut out with a quarter inch seam allowance, then creased on the template edge all around, then basted. Worked like a charm! I had vowed I would never make hexagons, they just seemed too fiddly, all that fuss....eating my words now...I actually like doing this!

The smaller hexagon template is for the paper, and the larger is for the fabric (it includes the seam allowance).

I've always been told not to stitch through the paper but just to grab a thread or two from each adjoining hexagon. It is easier to pull out the paper when it is still "loose" and not caught in the stitching.

Hope this helps -

I'm just now starting the March border. I've foundation pieced my heart, not literally ha ha, and am on to the hexagons. I've never done hexagons before and am a little befuddled by the instructions. Why are there two sizes of hexagons? One is a small one with 3/4 inch sides. I think that is the one I am supposed to use. What is the larger one for? When I am basting I am actually stitching through the paper, right? Maybe Lynette demonstrates this on the show, I will take a look. Thanks for any help.
