Happy Hexagons.
Posted on | September 19, 2025 | 9 Comments
I have been working away at my hexagon blocks for a while now. They were inspired by Emma Jean Jansen’s Tussie Mussie cushion.
I started out small wondering if I would stick with it.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed doing it. Even the hand stitching around each hexagon cluster with the perle thread.The blocks finally grew into a lap sized quilt.
It is approx 36 inches square.
I really enjoyed finding small pieces of fabric in the leftovers that could be used in the hexies.
And it was also good to find a variety of backgrounds.
I also found hexagon fabrics for the binding and backing. That’s a bonus.
That’s my lot for today. Short and sweet. Catch you next time.
Cheers, Karen

A great way to use those small scraps hiding in your stash – such a cute quilt. And the hexagon fabric was a good find too.
Such a happy quilt, the hand stitching decoration is just perfect and sets the ‘flowers’ off…

Short & sweet for sure, Karen!!! Nice hand quilting, too! I’ve been doing some EPP and I understand how satisfying it is.
They are very happy looking hexies. What a great quilt.
Such a pretty quilt Karen. Hexies are a classic and you’ve created a wonderful quilt!
