It's a simple idea, just a whole lot of hexagons with different coloured sections. We call them 'Hexi Cards' and you can download the free printable here.
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…
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.
A fresh spin on a classic hexagon quilt that adds style and an extra bit of flare.

Im Patchwork & Quiltjournal Mai/Juni haben wir über das Texas Quilt Museum berichtet. Heute haben wir erfahren, dass dieses Museum eine Auszeichnung erhalten hat, für die stilvolle Restaurierung von historischen Gebäuden. Die beiden Gebäude des Museums stammen aus den Jahren 1881 und 1892 und gehörten ursprünglich zu einer Zigarrenfabrik. Der Architekt Barry Moore hat die seit längerem leerstehenden Gebäude mit viel Fingerspitzengefühl umgebaut. So wurde darauf geachtet die alten Böden und Decken zu erhalten und sogar der Balkon, der in einem Gebäude auf halber Höhe ringsherum läuft, konnte restauriert werden. Wie schön, dass in diese alten Gemäuer nun Quilts Einzug gehalten haben.Falls Sie mal in der Nähe von La Grange in Texas sind, sollten Sie das Quilt Museum unbedingt besuchen. Das laufende Programm finden Sie unter www.texasquiltmuseum.org.
