Heximetry

Months ago I went through a Hexagon phase. I designed quite a few hexagon quilts, but only a few were made. One was sent to Amanda's son, the other will be revealed on Monday for my Festival of Hexagons tutorial.

 

Let's talk about that first one though. I was obsessed. I made another, trying to tweak my construction, but it turns out I had it right the first time.



Amanda pushed me into creating a pattern. I wanted it to be MORE. Not just a baby quilt, but a pattern for a real size quilt too.

And as I was designing, I found a way to make it EVEN MORE. You see, this pattern is actually 4 sections that you can mix and match. That gives you 4! variations (that's 4 factorial, or 4x3x2x1= 24 variations)!

It took time. I made the first one about 6 months ago. That time let me really get things right. I took my time making super awesome diagrams. I thought about how to make things clearer and easier for you. So I did what Amanda hates: I made video tutorials. There is a link in the pattern to a private page with some private videos, just for you! These are videos that show some of the steps to get you going.

The Festival of Hexagons kicks off on Monday right here, with a free quilt tutorial. But if you can't wait and want to get your hex on this weekend, you can buy this pattern at my Meylah shop. It's on sale for $7 through next Friday (a festival special!) and then it will go back to being $9.
A few more gratuitous pictures.
