Diagonal - prosess

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Category: Other

For: Home


What was your inspiration?

This is my way to make the 1. hex block :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I made the block like this: I cut 2 blocks, both about 14-16 inch big. So I drew a diagonal line on the back of the fabric, about 2 inch from the corners (I think, did not write this down). I sewed on this linje (likely HST) and so I cut the fabrics away 1/4 inch from the line. Pressed it and chose were to cut the 12,5 inch block. Finally I added the hexagons.

Hope You can understand this explaination - my English is not so good...;) (I used the fabrics I cut away for the hexagons!) I added a photo that is taken during the prosess, maybe it helps!...

Much more intteresting than the featured block. I gave up on that month as I'm not fond of hexagon piecing.

I like this idea. I haven't done the hexagon blocks as they did not inspire me and looked totally foreign to the rest of them. I will try this.
