Made for the miniature quilt swap. Just kind of created it as I went along. Almost didn’t get sent to my swap mate ’cause it turned out so cute I wanted to keep it!!! Each hexagon petal is a little bet less than an inch but it was fun to make!!!. Hand quilted and tied.

Cameron's Windmills Cameron’s Windmills
By: Cathi Godwin, Ontario, Canada

When I found out that a cousin was having a baby, I started making this quilt using half 1″ hexagon shapes that I had printed using Inklingo. I love tessellating designs and the half hexagon really worked for that. I just squeaked in under the wire, finishing it the day before the baby was born!

Dreaming of Summer Dreaming of Summer

It took me three years to sew this quilt. It´s handpieced and handquilted. The flowers are all made from different fabrics. There are cirka 4-5000 small hexagons in the quilt. I never got the energy to count them 🙂

English Friendship English Friendship
By: Kaaren Biggs, Ontario, Canada

An English quilting friend sent me a sample swatch book of Liberty of London fabrics and I used them to make EPP units for this unusual setting which I saw in a quilting magazine. The gold fabric was purchased in a shop in Florida several years ago, and the quilting was done by hand and by machine.

By: Charlsey, Texas, USA

Inspired by 1850’s antique quilt where I enlarged the 2-1/2 x 3 picture until I could see how the layout of the quilt. I then printed the hexagons on fabric using Linda Franz’ Inklingo method for the hexagons. The quilt was hand pieced and contains 2,863 hexagons.

Hexagon Baby Quilt Hexagon Baby Quilt
By: Susan Ponte, Florida, USA

I hand pieced and and quilted this Hexagon quilt while on bed rest with my 6th child. I used the freezer paper method and designed the pattern myself. I used gingham prints for the hexagons and found a floral that blended well with the colors for the sashing. I’ve taught this to many students.

Hexagon belt Hexagon belt
By: malukindian, Bulgaria

It’s a stylish man’s belt. According to lady who ordered it: “it is warm, natural and beautiful”.
Cotton fabrics in front and felted on back side.
It is easy made and could be iron, but it’s not machine washable (because of the wool).

My Little Babies My Little Babies
By: Jen @ SewHappyGeek, United Kingdom

I made a hexy mug rug for a tutorial for the blog, and when my friend Bonnie of Wonderfully Awkward went bananas over it, I made and hand quilted the aqua and red mini-quilt for her.
Piecing the hexagons was super easy, but sewing it all together was a bit tough on the ol’ wrists!

Norwegian garden Norwegian garden
By: Turid Bakken, Norway

This is my first work with hexagons. And you know, if you first start, you’ll never end making these beauties. I didn’t know anything about hexagons then, so I made my own pattern. All handsewn, and then again handquilted around each and every hexagon.

Texas Wildflowers Texas Wildflowers
By: Emily Breclaw, Texas, USA

I designed these flowers to introduce crafters to the addictive fun of English paper piecing. I love the dimensional quality of the flowers, but they are also fun to applique onto quilts and tote bags. The hexagons and pentagons in this picture are half inch to a side.

The Journey The Journey
By: Carol Skinner, Panama

I began this EPP project because I wanted a small portable block that I could stitch by hand. Along the way I discovered Inklingo. No paper templates, no basting, a running stitch instead of a whip stitch.
