Hexies are taking the world by storm! Driven by the popularity of English paper piecing, hexagons are fast becoming the go-to motif for quilters and patchworkers of all ages and abilities. In this inspiring and informative book, you will learn how to construct these cheerful little fabric shapes using the full-size templates provided, and then use them to create unique patchwork projects. Step-by-step colour photographs illustrate various techniques, including English paper piecing, hand-pieced inset seams and special hexagon-specific quilting methods. Once these have been mastered, you can try your hand at the collection of 12 adorable patchwork projects, including a floral-inspired mini quilt, retro tea cosy and zippered pencil case. These hexie-based paper piecing projects work up quickly and easily, making them ideal hand-sewing projects for weekend crafting and quilting on the go.

If time is money, now you can save both with fresh patterns designed specifically for precut fabric collections. With the fabric prep out of the way, you'll turn your stashed precuts into 16 eye-catching quilts and smaller projects you can sew in a weekend. From wallhangings to throws, pillows, table toppers, placemats, and quilts for every bed in your home, these projects are so fast they practically make themselves!
