Hi friends, Today I am sharing some photos of the Kona hexie quilt I made last month as my entry into the Quiltcon Quilt Show for next year. I have shared many progress pictures on Instagram and a few over here on the blog so I am so excited to share the final quilt with you all! The method I use for the application and the quilting can be found in my Hexie Pillow pattern. I would say this is more of an art quilt due to the delicate nature of the hexagons, but would look lovely draped at the end of your bed, or like I intend to use it, as a wall hanging in my house. Here are a few images from this earlier post showing the full range of Robert Kaufman's Kona solid collection. This includes the entire collection of 303 Kona cotton solid colors in hexagon form. These took a little while to create and were mostly made on the airplane when I had some time here and there to make a few. These have become my favorite traveling project just because of the small amount of materials that you need and how easy they are to sew up a few here and there while I am out of town. This was the first time I had tried this method of modern hexies on such a large quilt - this is a throw sized quilt and the previous quilts are all mini's. Thankfully it came together much easier than I expected. I layered my solid white fabric with my cotton batting and then hung it up in my dining room with a few thumbtacks stretching it out flat. Using the crease I made with my iron I just glued in no particular order onto the solid fabric. Once you make a few of these you can just eye ball the pattern and since I had my stack of hexies in color order I tried to keep the flow nice by having the darker solids in the middle getting lighter as I reached the edges. Here are some final shots of the quilt, I so enjoyed sewing this one up and am looking forward to making a new one in a different style. The quilt rack shown in some of these images is actually a fantastic towel stand that was only $20 that I found at Ikea. I have tested it out with over 5 throw quilts and it is so sturdy and quite nice to look at! I discovered when folding up in different ways and placing on the quilt rack that it takes on a whole new look with the different sections of color. You can make it match just about any room in your house if folded correctly! A huge thank you to Robert Kaufman for supplying me with the Kona 303 collection for this project. It has been a dream item on my list to create and am so very thankful to the ladies who assisted me with this! If you would like to make a project using the Modern Hexie method I used - you can find instructions in the Hexie Pillow pattern, the pattern includes a link to download your own hexie templates and video links on how to start your project. Thanks for stopping by today friends! -Nicole

As I delved into the world of modern quilting, one project kept popping up at me: Modern Hexies. As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to make them but didn't know where to get started. After a quick search, I discovered Nicole, the Queen of Modern Hexies, and got started on my own Modern Hexies quest!

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

Hi friends, I am tempted to call this Geometric Rainbow 2.0 since it is so similar to my last big hexie project, but the jury is still out on that one. What I do know is that I fell in love with this fabric before I even cut it - and it was in fact painful to cut (I was so worried I was going to get the ombré effect out of order!) Vanessa Christenson of V and Co. was so sweet to send me the full ombré collection for Moda and this is exactly what I wanted to do with it, make a large scale hexagon piece. I will be sending this to her to have in her booth at Fall Quilt Market in Houston, so if you are there stop by and take a peek! I usually stick with the darker brick wall on our building's patio but the white wall in my landlords basement was too tempting! Enjoy some pictures and some close ups :) There are a total of 340 hexagons on this project - 17 hexies in each colorway. I used my Modern Hexies method of applying them to the backing fabric and then quilting from corner to corner. Thanks for stopping by today and if you would like to make a project like this of your own - be sure to check out my Hexie Pillow pattern here. It has the full Modern Hexies method including video links to help you with your project! Happy sewing, -Nicole

Hi friends, I am back today to share another Modern Handcraft Palette Picks Bundle creation with you - this time it's all about Modern Hexies! This bundle should be hitting stores this December, so any day now! This Hexie Pillow features hexies in all of the colors of Kona and Essex in my bundle along with a couple of the Essex colors for the backing and binding, isn't that stripe fun? The Hexie Pillow pattern is a great way to use any left over small pieces or scraps from another project - this is exactly what I did to create this one.

Hi friends! Wanted to pop in and share some progress on a fun hand sewing project I started over Labor day weekend. My friend Chen sent me some of Alison Glass new fabric called Handiwork and it was just asking for some hand sewing - so a Hexie Pillow it is! Alison’s new line will be available later this month at the end of September at your local quilt shop and online. She is currently also having a pre-sale if you want to get a head start on ordering for your stash. This stays with her classic saturated rainbow palette and is all things handwork! Alison was inspired by her grandmother’s crochet tablecloths, antique beaded handbags and embroidery designs. I might add more hexagons to the pillow front than what the pattern calls for - its totally customizable so really filling in the front might make for some fantastic texture and color. I currently have the hexies all placed on a white board while I play with what combo and pattern I want to end up with. Hand Basting Hexies + Addition of Glue Stick I have been utilizing a glue pen with my hand basting method I love. Adding a bit of glue to stick the paper piece to the fabric eliminated the need to use a straight pin and keeps it much more secure for hand basting. Pre-gluing a stack of these beforehand makes the process so much faster! Thanks for stopping by today friends! Please remember to share all of your Modern Hexie projects with me on social media by tagging me @modernhandcraft and using #modernhexies. Nicole

My projects fall into one of two categories. There are the ones whose inception I labor over. I plot the design, the palette, the fabric pull—sometimes for months. Then there are these other projects that come out of nowhere and I bang out with little thought. This is the story of one of those latter projects. When I learned that a friend was leaving the area to tackle new adventures, I remembered this project I had seen posted on Instagram and decided to make her a rainbow of modern hexies. A few hours later, I was happily cutting some Alison Glass charm squares into smaller chunks and basting them, English paper-piecing style, into hexagon form. This technique was developed by Nicole Daksiewicz, of Modern Handcraft. She has made oodles of projects by hand basting and machine appliqueing hexagons to quilts, pillows, and pin cushions. (For real. Check out her hexie projects here.) I probably could have figured out how to make this pillow on my own, but I was happy to pay the $10 to support Nicole’s work. I’m not sure why it took me so long to tackle a modern hexie project. First of all, basting the 1-inch hexagons proved to be a lot of fun. I have two little boys who are hell-bent on depriving me of any daytime quilting time this summer, and by the time they’re in bed, I’m too tired to do much of anything. But the hexies I baste on the couch, TV on, the husband and 65-pound “lap dog” next to me. Fun! Plus, the appliqueing was easier than I would have thought. After pressing the basted hexagons and arranging them in a pleasing configuration, I followed Nicole’s instructions and glued them to the background fabric. The subsequent quilting design, which depends on careful placement of the hexies, was somewhat forgiving. Granted, I made an 18-inch pillow, not a quilt, so the threshold for success was rather low. But it’s a triumph nonetheless! The moral of this story? If you haven’t tried Nicole’s modern hexie technique, you should. I already have a second pillow in the works as well as another Noodlehead Market Bag that I plan on adorning with hexagons. Linking up to Needle and Thread Thursday and Finish It Up Friday ...

This year for Christmas, I asked for one thing from my totally talented, crafty Mom. A pillow (any pillow she wanted to make) to match my new bedding. I should have known when I made such a simple request it would turn into the elaborate and amazing handmade pillow of my dreams. Pattern: Hexie Pillow Pattern by Modern Handcraft Previously my Mom had made me the Elizabeth Hartman Fancy Fox Pillow. It inadvertently matched my bedding perfectly and has been sitting atop my bed for years. When it was time to change out my tired and ripped duvet I was sad to say goodbye to my fox friend that no longer matched. Christmas came around and I knew exactly what I wanted….a replacement pillow! I have always admired Nicole’s amazing hexie patterns. I have dreamed of making something with this unique and modern hexie technique, but it’s not the kind of sewing I really enjoy doing. When I opened up my pillow and saw the design my Mom had chosen, I was overjoyed! It is beautiful, intricate quilting that I love but would never complete on my own and looks perfect on my new bed. I helped my mom pick out a few of the colors for the pillow top so that she knew it would match, but mostly she picked all the fabrics herself. With a whopping 30 fabrics, she definitely had her work cut out for her. She did an amazing job though. It is truly the modern, minimal pillow of I had been dreaming of. Most important of all? The pillow is pupper approved!

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

Hexie Framed quilt in Stay Gold fabric by Emily of Quilty Love. This modern hexie quilt pattern is fat quarter friendly.

Hi friends, I have apparently been on a Hexie Pillow kick lately because I have another new one to share with you! This pillow was created with another mini charm pack from Ruby Star Society in Linear, the new line from Rashida Coleman-Hale. This fabric line by Rashida combines beautiful line work, geometric shapes, a fun color palette and a 70s vibe. There are florals and images of faces and women moving - I love everything about it.

One of my main goals for 2020 was to finish my half-hexie quilt top that I started in Fall of 2019 and provide a free tutorial for all of you lovely people! I found myself consistently surprised at how easy this quilt came together, and I'm confident a skilled beginner could tackle it as well! If you're interested in making your own, keep reading! Ice Cream Bowl Quilt Tutorial I'm fondly referring to this quilt as my "Ice Cream Bowl" quilt. Mainly because the half-hexagons look like bowls, and also because of those amazing ice cream fabric prints from Ruby Star Society that I threw in the fat quarter bundle for this quilt. I used a mix of Cotton & Steel, Ruby Star Society, Rifle Paper Co. and Riley Blake Designs fabrics. What you'll need: Hex N More Ruler (or something similar that can cut 8 ½" half-hexagon shapes) 16 fat quarters of quilting cotton for top 4 ½ yards quilting cotton for backing ½ yard quilting cotton for binding Thread, sewing machine, iron, etc. (basic quilting supplies) Finished Size: 51" x 62" Cutting the fabric: Iron all fat quarters for your quilt top and get them nice and flat. *If you like to starch, do so before cutting. Stack fat quarters (2 to 4 at a time) and use a 45mm or 60mm rotary cutter to cut 4 ½ inches x WOF strips from each stack. The cutting process will go quicker this way. Use your Hex n More Ruler to cut as many 8 ½" Half Hexagons from the strips as you can. You need 128 Half hexagons for this quilt. You'll need to flip the ruler for each cut, butting the short sides of the hexagon edges against one another to maximize the amount of half hexagons you can get from each strip. Below is a real life visual if the diagram is confusing for you. Shown here: OLFA True Blue 45mm rotary cutter and Jaybird Quilts Hex n More Acrylic Ruler Sewing the Half Hexagons: This part may seem a little intimidating to a beginner, but it's really as simple as sewing a straight seam. All you need to do is know how to angle each hexagon edge before sewing. Your quilt will have 16 rows, with 8 half hexagons in each row. I suggest laying out each row before sewing. Place one half hexagon down with right sides facing up. Put another half hexagon (flipped the opposite direction) along the right edge of the first one and overlap points by ¼" along those edges. Sew along this edge with a ¼" seam. Press all seams to the right for Row 1, to the left for Row 2, and alternate for remaining rows. Repeat for remaining half hexagons in row. *As you can see from the diagram below, the half hexagons are not placed directly ontop of one another at the same angle. It's very important to place them in the correct position before sewing. Sewing Rows: Continue sewing until there are sixteen long rows prepared (8 half hexagons in each row). Once all rows are completed, you'll sew the rows together with a ¼" seam. If you pressed the half hexagons correctly, your rows should "nest" together at the seams to create nice matching points as shown below. When the quilt top is finished and all rows are sewn together, trim the long edges of the quilt (right and left sides) so that they are flush and straight. Mine finished at approx. 51" x 62", which is a nice sized throw. Finishing the Quilt: I chose to long-arm quilt this at a friends house (Thank you, Megan!) and used backing and binding from my stash for my Stash Buster 2020 Challenge. I won't be teaching you how to baste, quilt, and bind your quilt. There are a plethora of of YouTube videos and blog tutorials out there for that and most of us have our own preferred methods. Some work for others that don't really work for me, and vice versa. If you need help with this part don't hesitate to search the internet or ask a local quilt shop or quilting club.
