Brand new version - November 2023! The Hexie Handbook just got a comprehensive update! Now with optional added triangles between the blocks, hyperlinked contents page, and whole printable template sheets per shape!
I'm pretty sure hexagons have magic powers. ;P Seriously though, designs that fit inside the hexagon, some older than ancient, some rarely seen before, some obvious, some surprising, are so happy and beautiful, it's no wonder they're seen from Roman frescos to modern kitchen splashbacks!
The Hexie Handbook is a celebration of these designs. It includes a basic 3" hexagon quilt pattern as the base, then 14 extra 3" hexagon block designs to create entire new quilts. Finally the Hexie Harvest Sampler Quilt is the perfect way to try each block.
That's 16 quilt patterns for the price of 2!
