How to Measure
Hexagon size (side):
- Measure the length of one side of the hexagon
- All sides should be the same size
- Include seam allowance in the measurement
Quilt Dimensions:
- Measure the desired size of the finished quilt
- Consider if there will be additional border
Important Tips
Pattern: Hexagons are arranged in a honeycomb pattern with alternating rows
Cutting: Use a template to cut uniform and precise hexagons
Assembly: Sew hexagons in rows, then join the rows together
Important Notes
Approximate Results: Calculations are approximate and may vary depending on the specific pattern used
Fabric Waste: Always buy extra fabric to compensate for cutting errors and pattern variations
