About This Course

Hexagons are such a fun shape to play with… but they can also be a little fiddly to sew by machine!!

In this course, we’ll explore several different ways to create hexagon blocks using reusable foundation piecing or ruler-free sewing and simple improv approaches.

Some blocks are more structured, while others leave lots of room to experiment with color, proportion, and layout as the quilt develops. The videos walk through each method step by step, along with tips for piecing, color placement, and composition.

This study is really about exploring shape and seeing how small shifts can completely change the feeling of a quilt!
