Make a batch of finished circles first. Then, find the hex size to fit in the circle, (you can do all this on paper first to make a patt). Then just sew back to back, in this pic the backs are all white, in rows, press open and sew down the petals - I think that would work and it would be done when you got to the size you wanted sharet
Look: if we "open" the white petal, what results is not a circle... It seems to me that we need to begin with a "flower 6 petal" shape... What do you think??? |

This is exactly what I'm doing right now with a piece of paper. But it is not enough... doing this (I hope my "English" is understandable... LOL) what happens is that we have a smaller "white petal"... Look: if we "open" the white petal, what results is not a circle... It seems to me that we need to begin with a "flower 6 petal" shape... What do you think??? |
oh, yes, I like your "petal" shape, it would work perfectly, sharet
|
The author also clips a little between each petal almost to the colored fabric hexagon, so that it fold over better I guess.
|
I'm sure I'll never make this pattern, but it is gorgeous!

This pattern is a mock cathedral window. Cut two flower shaped pieces, one for the center and one for the petals. Center a square of batting (if you want) stitch all the way around with right sides together. Make a little snip in the center fabric where the petals will fold over and cover it. Turn right side out. Make a bunch of them, fold the petals over and stitch them together. No curved piecing.

I have not seen this pattern before, but I think maybe you might be able to make your own by looking at the picture, and try making a sample. Just a thought.

Fons and Porter had this pattern years ago, I made it as an "I spy" quilt for granddaughter... I will find the issue if anyone is interested. Quilter 1234 It just had 4 petals....
|
Somewhere I got the measurements of 4 1/2" hexigon and the petals bring it out to 6 1/2'. Hope that helps:-)

I am still watching and waiting for a clue where to get this beautiful QAYG pattern :) Looked for the magazine on ebay no luck.
|

I think this is what you're looking for. Another member just posted it. Very simple to do.

That is a beauty! Have you thought of making a mock version by cutting a large square, and placing the football shapes round it, by appliquing?
You might ask Barbara Brackman for the name of the pattern. She is VERY nice, and looks a pattern name challenge! Julie |

You start with a six petal flower shape, and assemble the same way you would a Faux Cathedral or Tortilla quilt.
|
Sorry I forgot to say that you will need a hex shape instead of a
circle. Same technique as circle. |

I made this pattern in a bag format called Scallop Bag. It was in a magazine and was the first patchwork bag I made but unfornately I wasn't as diligent then at naming the magazine I got it from. I made it all by hand but did machine quilt it. Great portable project. Hopefully I have attached a photo for you to see. I think the magazine was Naive & Country Quilts.

Hi: Both my sister and I have made this quilt years ago.
It is a patten my sister purchased from THE WOODEN SPOOL, 1813 Craighton Road, Pensacola, Florida 32504. Don't know if they are still there, but you might try. It is called "Momoe's Star". I would spend you the pattern, but it was copyrighted by The Wooden Shoe, Inc. in 1986. Not sure what the law is on this, so I'll respect the copyright unless I have their permission to copy it. Try contacting them. GiGi |

Hi: Already responded with "Momies Star" pattern. Just wanted you to know that you gave me a new idea. I liked what was done with the top stitching, so next one I make, I'll do the same. Really sets it off like a quilt should be. Thanks.

Very interesting.....
|
wow, I love it. Be sure you post photos as you go..or when complete is good too
|
awesome! thanks for sharing
|
thanks crazyrvquilter. i rather thought they had to be slip stitched together like regular hex's. not sure i want to do that although i did a hexagon quilt that way already.
|
I made the one that is on You Tube, which starts out as a circle and gets turned in on 4 sides. It ends up as a square shape attic window. Very easy. The circle ruler/pattern is available. I made my own for the baby quilt I made. It was at least 10-15 years ago. I saw it on Kaye Wood.

Looks like you already got lots of good advice. I've seen the second photo quilt done in denim. They started with circles, but sewed them into squares, with an added square in the centre so it almost looked like a mock cathedral window. Auntie B

It just hit me, how easy we could machine or hand quilt each block before we put them together. I think I would like to do a spoke pattern on the colored part of the blocks to start with. Another project to begin.

I would love to have a copy

I was wondering if you could sew a thin batting in the circle and then turn it...and then go from there?
doing it like it showed on the tutorial, without batting.. would it be thick enough for a quilt with just using 2 pieces of fabric sewed together? I know that the folds would be thicker but the center of the circle would still be just 2 pieces of fabric. What do you think on this? batting or no batting?Thanks :) |
