Adventures in Hexagons Summary

Adventures in Hexagons: 11 Quilts, 29 Blocks, Unlimited Possibilities by Emily Breclaw

Move beyond one-patch hexagon layouts and turn six-sided shapes into versatile quilt design elements! Sew single, triple, rosette sprocket and medallion blocks in a variety of sizes and pieced combinations for stunning visual effects. Eleven hexagon quilts invite you to master the Y-seam by machine or hand, as you sew astounding quilts that beg the question, How'd you do that? Mix it up with the author's design primer, which gives you the tools to create new hex effects and draft your own stunning hexie quilt.

Adventures in Hexagons Reviews

Read all about hexagons and the power of this 6-sided shape in quilt-making. You can use templates, precut papers or print shapes onto fabric. This book provides inspiration for using hexagons. Find out all about hexie block making, cutting, sewing, piecing and quilt making. Create tumbling blocks or stretch and skew that hexie to make beautiful quilts. My favourite is the baby heart quilt. Clear instructions with superb photos and colour line drawings. There is a short design primer at the back of the book and templates.
