Folded Hexagon Quilt
 

This morning I caught the last part of a show that was showing a folded hexagon quilt. I think it was Quilting Arts but I cannot find the pattern or anything about it. Does anyone know if there is a free tutorial.

is this what you mean? i simply googled your title http://www.patchworkposse.com/2013/0...uilt-tutorial/

here's an interesting one http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/cut.../6/3/hexagami/

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this is the technique I prefer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JseWMYdMtDs

I saw the same show. It was Quilting Arts. You start with any size circle, and they finish about 1/2 that size. No papers or templates. I don't know how to post a link but I see it on Quilting Daily, Unconventional Hexagons.

Like foundation piecing, it's a conspiracy to make us use more fabric! Bah! LOL. But it looks fun to try for a few. Then of course, I would make a circle within a circle so I could use ugly fabric for the part that gets hidden, LOL. And then suddenly good old English paper piecing gets easy again ;-). Now, of course, if we could use the technique for reversible hats or something where the inside would get use too.....

i saw it as well ....what a cool idea

And I just tried to go to the show and you have to pay for it. What a rip off! Anyway, on the show the person demonstrating said she saw Appalachian women doing it. Maybe there's somewhere else "out there" where it can be found! The Riley Blake site looked like it used the hexagon templates....but I caught a glimpse of a fun looking Halloween project with the hexies.

Here is the show on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNE089I7qRw

I have it recorded, but found it on you tube. It looks like a really cool technique without the paper pattern. I have to try it.

Here is the info from that show:

Episode 1308-2 Julia Wood: Unconventional hexagons

Thanks so much you all. I am going to each site to see. Yes a rip off if we have to pay to see tutorial.

She used a canning lid for the pattern she folded it in half Right side together and folded it in half again. she doubled the thread tied a knot barely pick up 2 threads in the center were the two lines meet. ( you have the wrong side facing you) take a stitch very close to the edge pull it up to the center .finger press right at the edge stitch thought both layers pull it to the center that forms your first point. ( right handed go right left handed go left) continue going around . I hope this makes sense. I have it on tape

If you do a search of quilting daily unconventional hexagons by Julia it comes up and you can download it for free Hopes this helps

The you tube site only show the introuduction of the show. I looked for this all Saturday evening. This looked like a great take-a-long project.

Eleanor Burns has a quilt pattern that uses a template (looks like a parallelogram) for hexagons. I'm not on the hexie bandwagon, but was curious enought to buy the pattern to try on a table runner. The fabric is folded somehow...just bought the pattern so can't give any more information. Hope you find what you're needing.

Try this one, not a video

quilting arts tv series 1300

After watching Quilting Arts I have made over 100 of the folded hexagons. They are easy and I used my 5 inch scrap squares. I also found the pattern in this month (May and June) Quiltmaker. They have a lamb quilt using them.

This is a great book that teaches the folded hexie. I use this technique exclusively! It's quick and fun!

I just made one following the directions on the Riley Blake website given earlier. It was fun the directions were easy to follow

Bonnie: nice as the Riley piece looks, it is not the Appalachian [or as I call it: Ozark Hex] hexagon as shown on Quilting Arts. Let me know if you need help / explanation / video on how to do it.

I love how the points show up there. interesting
