I love modern quilts and have since I was a little girl. I especially love quilts with a lot of white space – not surprising!...

i’ve been working on a hexagon quilt. i plan on doing it in purples, blues and greens, all paper pieced and sewn by hand. the back will be all black, with silver latticing where the front has black. i’ll be ‘stuffing’ it with a hexagon of fleece in between layers, as i go along, working from the inside out, joining front and back as i go. i already have one of the diamonds done, and several more cut out. i can get a diamond out of an 1/8 of a yard, and i plan on checking out the remnants every time i go to the store.
So today I bring you an English Paper Piecing Tutorial! One of my long term projects right now is an English Paper Piecing (EPP) project.

With a ton of things to do before the end of the year I got distracted yet again! I saw the "Quilt as you go Hexagon" tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Co. (here) and realized that this was my kind of hexie! Paper piecing and little hexies scare me - but this bigger, faster and easy version seemed like a whole lot of fun. You don't have to buy a template; there are lots of tutorials and videos that show you the same technique using cardboard and different sized units. I did get the one sold by MSQC on their daily deal and am loving it. I got a "Scrap Pack" of fabric from Hawthorne Supply Co. in Amy Butler fabric to expand my own Amy stash. This may not be the traditional way to do this but here is my process. Cut your larger hexie and then with a pencil trace the image of where the batting and smaller hexie will go. Position your batting on your pencil lines and stick the batting down with the help of a little glue stick. Pin the smaller hexie onto the batting. Put a little glue on the bottom edge of the larger hexie. Make the first fold and press. Then dab a little more glue onto the hexie, fold and press with the iron. Apply glue and press one side at a time. The MSQC tutorial shows Jenny using "Magic Pins" - pins that have a silicone tip that can be ironed and not melt. I don't have those and figured applique glue would work, which it does just fine. Lastly, straight stitch around the unit and that's it. Will experiment in the final joining of all the hexies with a thicker #28 weight Aurifil thread using a zig zag so that stitching shows up even more. This is a long term project but it's easy to pick up for a quick sewing fix when one gets tired of bigger projects and you 'just want to sew something!' So, for good instructions and lots of ideas of what to make with these hexies - check out the MSQC video here. Materials: Quilt As You Go Hexagon Template from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

Have you tried EPP yet? That’s short for English paper piecing. It’s a technique that’s as old as the hills but has been making a HUGE comeback. Hexagons are perhaps the best-known shape used in EPP, and author Jaynette Huff makes the most of hexagon quilts in the re-release of Quilts from Grandmother’s Garden. Originally …
Så er den her... lovet for meget længe siden, men bedre sent end aldrig ikke? Swap Miniquilt efterår 2015 Inden jeg kaster mig ud i denne tutorial, så vil jeg lige henvise til ophavs kvinden til denne skønne teknik nemlig Nicole Daksiewicz fra "Modern Handcraft". Hop endelig over og tjek hendes ud - der er mange lækre (og som navnet hentyder moderne) sager! Tilbage til de der moderne hexagoner. Det jeg viser her, er den måde jeg er endt ud med at synes bedst om. Nicole gør det på lidt en anden måde, tjek det ud og gør så hvad der passer dig bedst. Klargør Hexagonerne: Til at lave hexagonerne bruger jeg papper, stofkvadrater der er 1" højere end højden på pappet, gluepen, ritråd og nål. Jeg klipper/skærer ikke stoffet i hexagoner, det er ikke nødvendigt. Jeg sætter en lille plet lim midt på hexagonen og vender limen nedad mod stoffet. Så sidder pap og lim sammen, og jeg behøver ingen clips eller lignende under rining. Jeg starter med at tage to ri sring, så første hjørner bliver låst. Jeg stikker kun igennem stoffet - aldrig gennem pappet. Derefter drejer jeg min hexagon et hak mod urets retning og tager endnu et risiting. Når jeg drejer mod urets retning, er det for at opnå, at stinget "låser" hjørnet. Jeg forsætter hele vejen rundt, men undlader at hæfte i samme hjørne som jeg har startet. Når jeg har riet en stak hexagoner, skal de presses, så kanterne forbliver pæne og skarpe, når jeg piller pappet ud. Brug gerne lidt strygestivelse hvis du har. Når hexagonerne er kølet af/tørret efter presning, fjerner jeg pappet. Jeg lader bare rytråden sidde. Når du har den mængde hexagoner du skal bruge - og gerne lidt flere, så du kar noget at vælge imellem - er det tid til at gøre baggrundsstoffet klar. Optegning af grid: Inden du tegner et grid, til at placere hexagonerne i, op, er det vigtigt at regne ud hvor lang afstand der skal være mellem linjerne. Jeg er kommet frem til at højden af hexagonet + 1/4" delt med 2 = linjeafstanden. I dette eksempel betyder det, at 1 3/4" + 1/4" = 2. Når det deles med 2 er linjeafstanden = 1". Jeg tegner her på papir, da det er nemmere at vise teknikker på en jævn flade. Start med at markere linjer enten lodret eller vandret. Her er 1" mellem linjer, og det skal der så være mellem ALLE linjerne! Næste sæt linjer skal tegnes med en vinkel på 60 grader ift første linjer. Sidste sæt linjer tegner, så den rammer alle skæringspunkterne fra første to linjesæt. Nu ligner det mønsteret som vi kender fra kardus patchwork pap. Læg en eller anden form for mellemfor bag stoffet - lim gerne sammen - og vi er klar til at placere hexagonerne. Jeg bruger ofte en vandopløselig pen til at tegne op med, men det er også muligt at bruge kridt, sewline pen, hera marker eller andet der nemt kan fjernes sidenhen. Placer og lim hexagonerne på: Først skal alle hexagonerne placeres på baggrunds stoffet (her bruger jeg hør), og det kan godt tage noget tid. Læg specielt mærke til retning på stof (så som striber), nuancer mv. Af erfaring ved jeg, at jeg skal tage et billede af mit færdige "oplæg", at der så nemt går ged i det for mig senere... Det gør der i øvrigt alligevel, men så har jeg da i det mindste mit udgangspunkt at forholde mig til! Til pålimning bruger jeg enten Roxanes Glue-Baste-It (ses på billedet) eller den vandfaste lim som Nicole Daksiewicz anbefaler (kan ikke huske hvad den hedder, men Helene Juul Design sælger den). Jeg sætter en lille prik lim i hvert hjørne. Mere er ikke nødvendigt. Så placerer jeg hexagonen på dens plads, og går videre til næste hexagon. Jeg bruger faktisk en pincet til dette arbejde, da det er så nemt at få gnattet fingrene ind i lim... som så kommer på forsiden af hexagonerne... Den opmærksomme læser kan tydeligt se, at mine gridlinjer ikke rammer helt perfekt. Nu er det sådan, at jeg heller ikke syr helt perfekt, så i sidste ende passer det super godt sammen! Når alle hexagoner er limet fast, lægger jeg en eller anden type mellemfor (termolam, hobbs eller lignende) bag stoffet, og så quilter jeg i samtlige optegnede linjer. Jeg quilter altid alle linjer i samme retning, inden jeg tager fat på næste retning. Se det var det... ikke spor svært, men en alvorligt afhængigheds skabende aktivitet skulle jeg hilse at sige. Julegave til Helene 2014 Hvis du syr noget, og sidenhen viser det på ex instagram, så husk #modernhexies, så andre der har interesse i dette, kan finde og beundre dit værk! Nok for nu... men det varer ikke så længe inden jeg vender tilbage med endnu en tutorial. Maria

Like many others, I fell in love with Leanne's Hexagon Quilt in Vignette #2. The blue fabrics from my earlier quilt were still sitting on my cuttingtable, so I thought: Why not make it in blue? So here I am, working on my blue Vignette Hexagon Quilt! Not much done yet, but I love what i see! Wish you a wonderful day! May Kristin
To echo the words of Claude Monet “I must have flowers, always, and always.” Having fresh flowers in our home brings me so much joy. They instantly lift a room with their sweet scent and colourful petals. They nod happily at me every morning, greeting me with their showy smiles. Just as I love and must always have real flowers, I also cannot be without the English Paper Piecing kind of flower, the always iconic, hexagon flower. Flower Garden Ramble came about after I received some lovely Liberty floral fabrics. I wanted to create a mini quilt design that would showcase these fabrics. I wanted the flowers to stand out as individual blooms and not to have their petals touching each other. I used diamonds and hexagons in a soft green cotton fabric to separate the flowers. These green shapes both represent the leaves of the flowers, but also the crisscrossing pathway through them. Flower Garden Ramble reminds me of Victorian Style garden beds with their tightly clipped hedge borders containing masses of brightly coloured flowering plants. It is the perfect pattern to showcase your favourite pattern fabric prints. Finished Piecing Size The size of your finished Flower Garden Ramble Quilt will measure approximately 14” wide and 14.25” high (when using ¾” sized shapes and borders/binding sizes mentioned in the pattern). Paper Pieces Required ¾” Hexagon =75 ¾” Half Hexagon = 12 ¾” 60 Degree Diamond = 18 ¾” Isosceles Triangle = 18 TOTAL = 123 Please note the following when making your purchase: This pattern does NOT include printable shapes.
