This pattern was made specifically for English paper piecing, but I've added templates of the pieces with seam allowance as well, which may also be useful to cut the fabric for EPP as economical as possible.
I haven't been able to print this one out yet, so fingers crossed the seam allowances are actually half a centimetre... (if you print it out at 100% it should be fine though)

One block measures 24 cm (from top to bottom) |
All the pieces needed for one block, this will fit on one sheet of A4 paper. |
If you'd rather play it safe you can print it out on regular paper and then glue it onto either another sheet of regular paper or a sturdier variety.
Some variations:
It's also possible to combine these blocks with solid hexagons:
Hmm, I guess that means I should add a template for those as well...
Here you go, although I'm afraid it's only half a template ( otherwise it won't fit onto your printer paper).
Oops, I nearly forgot about the templates with added seam allowance...
This is a really pretty pattern! I was just saying to a friend that I've been seeing paper-pieced patchwork hexagons everywhere lately, and this is such a neat twist on that trend! I'm not a quilter, but this is something I'd love to try in the future :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's so kind of you to say! Don't tell anyone, but I'm not really a quilter myself lol
DeleteSo far all I've made is a dollhouse-sized (paper-pieced) quilt (though that was a looooong time ago), and I helped my mum put together a paper-pieced star for Christmas last year.
But I'm afraid lack of experience with a craft has never stopped me from trying to make patterns for it ;)
