Hexagon Quilting: The EASY Quilt-As-You-Go Method

[@CraftyRie]

It's winter and cold here and I need another blanket for the bed - I think this will just perfect! Oh and I might also start a hand sewn one too, what do you think - yes or no?

I would love to see a video on a hand sewn one ❤

[@alyssacowan5050]

I love this! I have a friend having a baby and I wanted to make her a bee themed quilt. So this is perfect!

[@CraftyRie]

Ohmygosh, yes! That’ll look awesome!

[@sheliaheverin8822]

Ooooo, crumb blocks for the center.....what a great idea. I've just started cutting out mine. I'm going to use scrap solids for the back and charm squares for the tops and all my scrap batting/wadding. Going to be 100% hand sewn.

[@CraftyRie]

Oooh, sounds good! I’m keen to start another but hand sewn!

I love the different shades of gray. Looks like a window pane. I just started doing this. I haven’t joined them together yet.

[@CraftyRie]

Will you join them by hand or use the sewing machine?

[@barbarajefferysings]

I am collecting fabrics now for a bed-sized quilt. I'll be doing the flower on the back, like yours. I like the crumb quilt version, too. !

[@CraftyRie]

It’s super fun & easy to make, I’m sure your quilt will be amazing!

[@kathycritser3932]

I love your ideas of a scrapy hexy. Your work is beautiful ❤❤

[@CraftyRie]

Thank you so much!

I joined mine with invisible thread and made the zigzag as narrowly as possible and it looked good

[@CraftyRie]

It’s fun to make isn’t it!

[@cindyq52700]

I am currently making two one sew as you go hexagons medium one and a extra large one with the sewing machine I use my accuquilt go hexagon die cuts for the front and batting I cut about a 1 inch around a square larger for the back to do the flip and pin them around then zigzag around them to join them it's fun to do these never thought I would ever make one less two this was is more enjoyable for myself I couldn't see myself rotary cutting around templates !

[@CraftyRie]

Yes, cutting around the templates can be time consuming but I think it’d be awesome if you wanted to fussy cut the fabric.

[@MonaDidWhat]

I like the flower ones for under my lamps

[@CraftyRie]

They’re cute, aren’t they! They also make great coasters too!

[@donnanelson9181]

What is the finished size of the hexagon at two widest points?

[@CraftyRie]

It depends in which hexagon templates you use.

[@donnanelson9181]

@@CraftyRie obviously. I’m referring to the one you’re using in this video.

[@ellabella8506]

How do you add a border to finish the quilt?

[@CraftyRie]

The pieces are already finished so you could leave it as is. I was thinking of making half hexies to have a straighter edge though

[@barbarajefferysings]

You could make a bunch of hexes all the same color and join them around the outside to serve as a border.
