  • Laura, somebody needs to give you your own TV show! Your explanations and demonstrations are so clear and easy to follow.
  • @karengray2650
    You explain things so simply, clearly and intelligently. Thank you.
  • Loved this video. I made a child’s “I Spy” using this pattern. Thank you Laura!

    why not just 'snowball' the corners rather then cutting & sewing back on ?....Good question:) I thought the same thing however because of the shape needing 6 equal sides a square or a rectangle corner like a snow ball will not work. It doesn't flip over correctly. I tried:) Thanks for asking and thanks for watching

    This pattern is perfect for LARGE SCALE fabrics, that you don't want to cut up too small as you would lose the print! I have some Lei fabrics from Hawaii, that would be perfect to use with this pattern! thanks so much!

    Okay, this one's a winner for me! I love the fact that you cut the lighter/contrast fabric bigger than the template so it makes it easier to square up the blocks before joining them. AND I love that you don't have to match seams between the rows. It is a great hexagon pattern for showing off the fabric one's very best prints and colors because the hexagon isn't joined in the middle like many patterns call for. Additionally, I don't have to go crazy lining them up with opposing halves. And as always, you show us the hints like giving us the measurements from the flat to flat edges (6 and 1/2 inches) and from point to point (7 and 1/2 inches) and how to easily cut the corner pieces of the contrast fabric; etc. Nice! I got a kick how at the beginning when you showed the folded fabrics - running your hand across them and visually "caressing" them - ha! Yes, it made me want to touch them too; I'll bet we're not the only ones who admire our quality quilting fabric in this way. Many years ago I worked at a fabric shop part-time while going to college part-time. For a number of years after that (into the 1970's) when talking to people, I'd sometimes touch their arm to make a point (I'm pretty demonstrative) and then I'd be distracted trying to guess what the fabric content of their clothing was. I'd forget where I was in the conversation .. and then have to ask them, "Where was I?" It was only when I came across other people who sewed that I'd confess my secret thoughts. :-) Is this abnormal behavior? Probably. ;-) But I and the other gals in the store would "challenge" each other when new bolts came in and the customer flow was sluggish and really enjoyed the game.
  • Awesome! Just what I needed today, working on table topper with hexagon centers. Your instructions were so clear and easy to understand! Now on to more hexes! Plus a hexagon star quilt in my future! Thanks for this video!

    I haven't done much with hexagons because I always worried how to piece them together; not anymore, thanks Laura. You have such a clear and concise way of explaining cutting instructions, sewing instructions, etc. When you post a video I do a little happy dance.
  • I LOVE this tutorial. Clear and easy to follow, this is the benchmark of a tutorial. Thanks Laura
  • This Is hands down the best tutorial video I have ever watched! Your instructions are extremely clear and I love the fact that you didn't waste time showing us you sewing on the machine. Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for to make my next project!

  • I love scrappy quilts and I am so looking forward to making this one! Thanks for making the directions so easy to follow!!
  • @amycharles648
    I love your explanation of how to quickly cut out all the hexagons and the triangle corners. So simple once someone else figures it out! Thanks for saving us all the headache. :)
  • I found the pattern before your video. Thank goodness I found this before cutting. You have saved me a ton of time. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
  • @stitchann
