When I started trying to read patterns with only vague knowledge of my sewing machine, I tried a few attempts at making quilts that were pretty cruddy. Than I thought why would anyone want to quilt with all this frustration for so so results. Than I came across a video of yours and found your easy explanations to be my saving grace in my desire to learn to quilt. So thank you just over a year after seeing my first Missouri Star video my quilts are beautiful and I rarely leave my sewing room in the winter months now. So again thank you for your KISS (keep it simple sister) tutorials.
You are so wonderful at breaking down the patterns. I learn so much watching your videos. This is a beautiful quilt and the white offsets the busier patterned blocks nicely.
It´s a pleasure to watch your tutorials :-D AND so i can make beautiful patchwork blankets without being a professional - at the moment the cats, and i love them :-D Greatings from Vienna, Austria, Europe :-)
Another beautiful quilt! I think I understand the way it is put together. The actual sewing of the hexis together looks simple, once you get the spacing right. The confusing part is putting the rows together. I am adding this one to my very long list, but will attempt this in a few years; when I get better at quilting!
One of the first things I thought when I saw this tutorial was those scraps that you have left over would all seem to work nicely in a "crazy quilt" type of project.
Joyce Anglin Miller. I am kinda new to quilting and I cut a few (3-4) scrap "practice" pieces, so I could kind of play around with putting them together BEFORE trying with my Real fabric. It makes more sense when it is in your hands. I had "issues" with the Rhombus and needing half rhombus (which is more than half) to straighten out the edge. Good luck! Post pictures!
Jenny , this absolutely GEORGEOUS!! You know as I was watching you do this I had a crazy thought I wanted to share with you. While half of each hexagon is white , what if you put a matching color boarder on the three out sides of the hexi then sew them together. After your top was done each block would pop even more. Would you try this on a baby quilt or table runner in one of your tutorials? Please.
Would have liked to have seen a work in progress at the point where Jenny joins the rows togeher and then trims to make it square. I'm having a hard time envisioning that part of it.
I completely agree, I usually come away from the tutorials knowing I can do the pattern, but this one has me feeling a little unsure. I would have liked to see more on the part of the quilt which seems more challenging - the actual assembly.
It is a bit hard to envision, but you'll do fine when you have the rows in front of you. It might help to print the .pdf of the layout, number each diagonal row and then count the number of hexies needed for each row before sewing. When you are ready to square it up, look at that part in the video again because Jenny points out which hex is used to line up your ruler. Kind of like doing a puzzle and it is fun.
I realize this is long past the time you will be working on this pattern, but I had a similar problem/worry when I decided to make the Strings Attached quilt. After reading it about 3 times, I decided to just jump right in. Then when I was actually working on the pattern, I realized what to do. So I'm now going to do this one and I have more confidence in starting on it.
Buenos días Sra Jenny. Yo quiero adquirir esa regla pero la que se puede utilizar con los cuadrados de 5x5. Tengo varias reglas de Usted. Las he comprado en Amazon pero no he podido encontrar esa regla.
Can I make a queen sized quilt with this pattern? Does the pattern to purchase offer different sizes or is it just the pdf work sheet? I'm thinking 2 layer cakes of each? This is so pretty for Spring
Ok MSQC!!!! I love and make many of your tutorials!!! But! This one, how about a little more help on lining up the half-hexi's instead of a little point on each end, or a little less on each end? Already own several of your Layer Cakes and want this done for a gift! Thanks in advance - don't want to be off and have to rip out! There's gotta be a great tip!
Hi, Gail! The Slanted Half-Hexi pattern was published in BLOCK Volume 5 Issue 2. Here's the link: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/96406/missouri-star-quilt-co/missouri-star-quilt-co/block-magazine-spring-2018-vol-5-issue-2 Hope this helps!
Oh, and forgot the separate pattern, if you'd prefer! www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/97519/missouri-star-quilt-co/missouri-star-quilt-co/digital-download-slanted-half-hex-quilt-pattern-by-missouri-star
Every time I see a tutorial like this, where they make it with odd edges and then cut it back square, I always think the same thing: Why don't you take the parts that stick off one side and sew them to the opposite side? Then there's no waste.

This quilt just screams "Spring"! Beautiful!!
This is so beautiful! I will repeat on how nicely you break down the process! Ruth from VA
I love that you are providing a PDF of the pattern. No more capturing the screen. Thank you so much.
Very pretty. You just keep adding to my list. Haha Thank you for this tutorial. Very lovely.

Another georgous quilt from Jenny...thanks..am making at present the Disappearing 9-patch Madness quilt now.
i so want to do that one for my son and his new bride!
And another totally inspirational project - cannot wait to get started - Jenny you always amaze!!!!

It might be worth making another video on this showing how to cut to square. But love this quilt. Ordered my supplies today to make it!!
I love your tuts...you are so good. Just got my 10" half hexagon template in the mail. Gonna be sewing tomorrow. Can't wait
Love this pattern Jenny, thank you for sharing it with us
Beautiful quilt Jenny. I love the fabric you chose. I will try to make this quilt.
Another great video...you’re awesome teacher 👩🏫
Another beautiful quilt Jenny. I soon will be moving into a house so I will have a lot more room to do my quilting.
Fun pattern! The fabric is so cute too!! Thanks
I got this template love how the quilts are turning out
Another great video, and so easy to understand, and the PDFs are very helpfulThanks Jenny
Amazing! Love the pattern and colors.
So cute! When you said kind of like a little L I had been thinking it looks like a Pacman lol. Love it
Thanks again Jenny
I am making this one and boy what a challenge
One of the first things I thought when I saw this tutorial was those scraps that you have left over would all seem to work nicely in a "crazy quilt" type of project.
Absoultly gorgeous and beautiful - woot!
Great quilt and wonderful fabric!
This is a perfect quilt for a girl in this particular fabric. I'm not too clear on the piecing part but I'll give it a try.

Thank you for the info. Sometimes doing something hands on makes more sense, it's just a matter of making that first cut.

Looks like Easter.... Too late this year but if I start now I might have it done next spring, lol
Cannot wait to try this!

Love it! I see a flock of birds flying, my son says UFOs! 😀

This is beautiful!
I really like this one
Do you think it would work using the smaller half-hexi template and 5" squares, to make a baby quilt????
Susan Gordon sure it will!
Yes!!!
Carolyn McMath m
Another fun quilt. 🤗
Cómo le puedo hacer para adquirirla. Gracias de antemano. Bonito día
Can I make a queen sized quilt with this pattern? Does the pattern to purchase offer different sizes or is it just the pdf work sheet? I'm thinking 2 layer cakes of each? This is so pretty for Spring
I cannot access the pattern, I just get the duck (and while cute, he us not helping me with the lay out) do you have an active link?
I am following the diagram and I am having leftover half hexagons- is this correct? My first quilt and just want to make sure. Thanks 😊
I like the quilt, but I'm like you, I'll have to do some studying on this on. It's cute though.
How do you know when to use vertical or horizontal seams on your backing
Bello !!!
cute I like it!!!
Would this work with a jelly roll?

Do you sell this pattern? I would like to purchase if you do.

Hexagon
The shape you are using is half of a hexagon, but it has a name. Your shape is called a trapezoid. 😍😍😍
having a hard time :(
