block 3
big triangles hexagon block
were you starting to wonder when we would use those layer cake squares or fat quarters?
now!
today i'll show you one of the two blocks that will use your layer cake squares or fat quarters!
--
to make one block
cut 3 triangles from each of 2 colors
{you'll be able to get 4 from a layer cake square}
if you are using fat quarters you can cut a 4.5" strip and subcut your triangles from that

take the 6 triangles and lay them out like this.
you are going to start to piece your hexagon together...
but only put 3 parts together... and 3... and leave it in 2 halves
i pressed my seams towards the red
that's it!
remember we aren't sewing the entire hexagon together yet so that we avoid Y seams!
so how many should you make?
that is up to you!
i didn't use this block in this layout...
but i am using it in this one!

Wow! I really like how it's turning out Julie! Great work.
did I tell you I won that nifty ruler from Leah (Burgundy Buttons)! I'm waiting for it to show up in the mail... so I can get back to work! :)
(cute block, by the way)
Whee! Another cute block. Yer spoilin' us! I adore how they're all coming out. Don't you all agree? I bet you could put uglies together and they would look good. Something about this block just makes it look good.
Thanks for the pdfs Julie. Tomorrow I hope to get some more made.I'm not liking my solid so I've got to rethink that....
You are awesome!!! Love the hexagon quilt-a-long and the PDF files are great for me -- I'm excited to get into full swing in my hexagon quilt now that I might have some time to quilt again!
I really like that second layout... almost looks like stars to me!!
