Yesterday was a glorious late summer day and I was lucky enough to make the final day of the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. Just one and a half hours drive along the motorway and I was there! I'm not keen on large, crowded spaces and I knew the last day would be relatively quiet. My patience was rewarded and I had plenty of space to enjoy the wonderful quilts. You can click on any of the photos to see the full size image. Probably one of my favourites was the winner of the traditional quilts, beautifully worked by hand in stunning colours. and a closer look! The best in show was a bit angsty for me, but the beauty was again in the detail! Gillian Cooper's Unsung Muses was quite a moving experience to walk through. She says, "Flat and empty figures, left with only traces of past human experience, washed out by the waves of time lapping and crashing over them. People from the past lose definition and personality and merge together. With the world changing so fast it is difficult to understand someone from 50 years ago, let alone 4,000, particularly with the changing role of women. However these people are our past, they are part of us; their lives led the way for us coming into being in our full 21st century understanding." The Tentmakers of Cairo had a huge display of their amazing applique quilts. This blue and green bird themed quilt was probably my favourite and I would have enjoyed taking it home with me as they were for sale, but the price tag was beyond my reach! One of the Egyptian craftsmen was working on a cushion cover - the technique he used was totally different to anything I expected. The backing fabric was thick and very loosely woven, the needle was pretty big and the scissors were huge! No thimbles either just the pattern roughly inked onto the fabric and speedily sewn. A quilt celebrating the work of the Foundling Hospital was something which took my breath away. Using vintage items, and each square representing an abandoned child. The Foundling Museum in London is now on my list of places to visit! This stunning quilt was made with . . . hexagons! Liberty print dresses. (I'm not sure if they were vintage or just made to look so). A group quilt from 178 ladies in the Czech Republic made its way into the Guiness Book of Records. Clearly a quilter lives in this wonky house. I loved the international dimension to the show. This stunning quilt was from Russia and close up you can see the applique is raw edged with two layers, the bottom layer being gold lame. Some of the quilts in the minature section were very tiny indeed! This quilter has my admiration for those tiny triangles. And I would love to visit this coastal landscape. The winner of the minatures was this heavily quilted beauty. the detail! Another stunning hexagon quilt. And lastly I loved this pretty blue and white quilt from Hungary. Thank you Quilters Guild of the British Isles for organising such a wonderful show and an amazing day out! Ros

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.

Since fall of 2012, I have been working on hand piecing a hexagon quilt. I am using 1 1/2 inch hexagon templates from paperpieces.com ...
I just made this very cheerful baby quilt entirely out of random 2½” strips I had laying around… this is my Honeycomb Hexagon pattern. I thought this would make a good video to show you how these blocks are made with the ruler you (probably) have! Here are a couple of behind the scenes pics, as I was doing the quilting, and then the bias cut striped binding (my favorite). This pattern is so much fun to make, and it came out so much better than I expected after just grabbing a little of this and

EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt - TUTORIAL Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing my EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt (keep on reading for the free tutorial) with the gorgeous Wild and Free Collection designed by Gracey Larson for Riley Blake Designs. The Wild and Free Main print (below) is my FAVORITE because Gracey has drawn all 50 state flowers!!! This collection is both beautiful and educational! PS- the Wild and Free Panel is a must as it is a map of USA with all the states and their flower! I knew I wanted a to make quit a with a floral design and I love a Grandmother's Garden Quilt, but hand sewing hexagons together would take me forever and sewing y-seams is stressful. So I used my AccuQuilt GO! Half-Hexagon die to make my quilt EASY with no hand sewing or y-seams! EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt Tutorial 53.5" x 63.5" Quilt Supplies: (12) 1/2 yards : Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson (5) 1/4 yards: Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson 0.625 yard binding: Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson 3.5 yards Backing OR (1) Wild and Free Panel with extra (1) yard of Wild and Free Main Print plus left over fabrics AccuQuilt GO! Half-Hexagon 4 1/2" sides die AccuQuilt GO! Cutter (if using AccuQuilt GO! die for cutting) Note: If you do not have an AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Half-Hexagon die – try using Lori Holt Hexie Half Ruler Set. Just use the larger size ruler. Your quilt size may vary slightly from mine. Cutting Instructions Cut each 1/2 yard print into (3) 4 1/2" x WOF strips, then cut (12) half-hexagons with your AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagon 4 1/2" Sides Die from each print. (Total of 144 half-hexagons) Each 4 1/2" x WOF Strip will cut (4) half-hexagons Cut each 1/4 yard print into (1) 4 1/2" X WOF strip, then cut (4) half-hexagons with your AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagon 4 1/2" Sides Die from each print. (Total of 20 half-hexagons) There will be a total of 164 half-hexagons cut. Quilt requires 162 half-hexagons. Each full flower requires (12) half-hexagons for petals and (2) half-hexagons for flower center. Don't worry - it's super quick to cut the half-hexagons as your AccuQuilt GO! Cutter does all the work for you! Plus you can cut 6 layers of fabric at a time - yay! Cut (6) 2.5" x WOF binding strips. Note: If you do not have an AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Half-Hexagon die - try using Lori Holt Hexie Half Ruler Set. Just use the larger size ruler. Your quilt size may vary slightly from mine. Quilt Assembly Arrange your half-hexagons in your desired layout. Don't worry about the hexagon edges on the quilt sides, we will be trimming them off. No need to panic- it's just a tiny bit of trimming off so there isn't much waste at all. Layout should be (9) half-hexagons across (horizontal) and (18) half-hexagons down (vertical). Sewing Begin sewing horizontal rows together. Sew (2) half-hexagons short sides, right sides together with 1/4" seam. AccuQuilt has already trimmed the corners of your blocks so they are easy to line up and sew together. Continue until entire horizontal row has been sewn together. Row 1 Row 2 Continue sewing all (18) horizontal rows as shown above. Be careful to pay attention to placement of half-hexagons. Next sew Row (1) and Row (2) together with a 1/4"seam. I did pin each point as I like perfect points :). Repeat sewing rows together in numerical order until quilt top is complete. Trimming Quilt Using a ruler - trim the edges of the hexagons on the left and right edges of the quilt. I trimmed at the intersection of the two fabrics. This will give your quilt straight edges and it will be so much easier to bind. See diagram below. EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt will measure 53.5" x 63.5". OPTIONAL (but awesome): Pieced Backing The Wild and Free Panel is AMAZING! Plus I love a double sided quilt so I chose to use my left over fabrics for a fun pieced backing! I think this is a fun (and pretty) option to learn US Geography!!! Quilt and Bind as desired You did it! Now you have an EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt with the gorgeous Wild and Free fabric to enjoy!!! Plus hooray for NO y-seams or hand sewing!!! I can't wait to see your quilt! Do you know your state's flower????? Be sure to follow me on Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff and on my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog for more fabric fun! Have a great day and happy sewing / quilting!

Make a hexagon template with an old plastic container, or some card stock (like I did). If you're just beginning, you should start with at least a 1.5 inch template, although I used a 2 inch hexagon for this tutorial.
