Connecting your hexie flowers 🌸

In this tutorial I am going to be showing you how I place my hexie flowers to stitch together 🌸 Please see previous tutorials on how to cut and baste your fabric hexies and how to stitch them into hexie flowers.
In the next video I will be showing you how to finish the edges of your quilt!
I will do my best to answer questions in the comments so please have a read of those too x

I love your dress

I enjoy watching your techniques of sewing your hexagons together. I made one hexagon quilt my first quilt ever 44 years ago. I started my second hexagon quilt almost 10 years ago. I’m in the middle of quilting it. Seeing your techniques I think is good because when I did mine it never occurred to me that their were smarter ways of sewing them together. Again your quilt is very lovely thank you for sharing.

Loved your clip !

[@vwatts8738]

Thank you for sharing your process. I appreciate it and plan to incorporate it in my work

I just realized that you let your cardboard in place. You will sew with them? I took them and baste the one that make borders but your idea is much much better cuz you can write instructions!! Bravo as we say in French.

Yes, you only remove the papers once the hexies are stitched together. I have some other tutorials (stitching hexies in to flowers) which also explains this. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m at this point with my hexis and wasn’t sure how to join them. How do you handle the edges? Finish it off? Thanks again

Could u make a Hoxie placemat?...If so, what size would u use?

[@thestrawberrythief9299]

Hi Susanne, what a lovely idea! Yes, you could absolutely make a hexie placemat using 1" or 2" hexies. As for the size of the placemat, we like to make ours custom to our needs, so we lay out a plate, cutlery (and a glass if you'd like that to sit on the mat also) and measure a rectangle for these items to. sit comfortably. Alternatively there are standard sizes which you can google :)

I love this video. Thank you for showing your process. You have such a great energy and presence on video (as I'm sure you do in person too). Quick question, what is your approach to how many different fabrics to feature in a quilt? Is there a min number for example or an ideal number of repetition of fabrics? Thank you

[@thestrawberrythief9299]

Thank you for your very kind words :) I don't have a formula, I just wing it really.. I usually just dive into all my scraps and pull from there. The more the merrier I say!!

Just take a picture and stack them in order, way less confusing
