Supplies 14 Charms (5” Squares) Batting Scraps (I used warm & natural) Thread to match for topstitching 4” hexagon template (I used the eye spy one from www.comequiltwithme.com) 1. Lay the charms out in two sets of 7 to form flowers. Your finished piece is reversible but you will only see 7 fabrics at a time. 2. Trace hexagon template on the back of all 7 pieces of one set. 3. Cut batting scraps into 7 charm size pieces. (5” x 5”) 4. Layer a set of charms right sides together on top of the batting with the charm that has the hexagon traced onto it on top. 5. Pin the three layers together and sew on the line around the hexagon leaving a 1” to 1 ¼” opening on one side. Repeat for the other 6 sets. 6. Trim batting to 1/8” from stitching line. 7. Trim fabric to ¼” from stitching line. You can trim the corners a bit more but I would not recommend trimming the straight sections more. You don’t want the seams to accidently open when you turn them, and you are also dealing with bias edges on 4 of the 6 sides. 8. Turn all of the hexagons so that they are right side out. This is the flip! Use a turning tool of your choice to poke the corners out nicely. I use a chopstick like wooden stick. 9. Finger press the open seam and pin the opening closed. You do not need to sew this closed! Iron the hexagons being careful around the pin holding the opening closed. 10. Lay your 7 hexagons back out how you did in step #1. Make sure that the open seam in each touches another hexagon and is not one of the 3 outer open sides. 11. The next step is to attach the hexagons. I used a zig zag stitch that is usually used on stretch fabrics. 12. You will sew 3 \__/ shapes that will close up all of the outside seams. Be careful when you come to an area where you have an open seam from turning your hexagon. The topstitching will close it but you want to make sure you keep your pieces tightly together until they are sewn. 13. To sew a set together start by pinning across the seam of two pieces. 14. Start sewing at the intersection that is the outside of the flower. Take a few backstitches and slowly sew across the seam. 15. Stitch until you get close to the other end. Put the next hexagon (middle one) in place and pin it to both hexagons you just sewed together. 16. Finish sewing the seam and put your needle in the down position. Pivot the three hexagons 60 degrees counter clockwise so that you can sew the middle hexagon to the left one. 17. Repeat the process to add the 4th hexagon and sew a third seam. Backstitch when at the end and cut your threads. 18. Now you have 4 hexagons partially attached and three loose. The shape you sewed looks like this \__/. 19. Repeat to create two more \__/ sets of stitching to attach all seven hexagons together. 20. Sew all around the center hexagon to finish all seams. (Three have not been sewn yet and three have been.) 21. Optional – Sew around the perimeter of the flower to match the inner seams.
