Trihex Quilt

This unusual and very striking bed quilt pattern by Margaret McDonald combines triangles cut using templates or a triangular ruler with appliquéd hexagons.

• Large (almost 5in high) triangles make this an excellent pattern for showcasing some favourite feature print fabrics
• Patterns are provided full-size ready to trace onto template plastic or you can use a 60-degree triangle when cutting the fabrics if you prefer
• >Step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams will guide you through every stage of the project, from cutting the fabrics, through assembling the columns to quilting and binding
• A quilt design that’s suitable for just about anyone – just choose a colour palette to suit
• A project that’s out of the ordinary for quilters who are looking for something a bit different
• No set-in corners or ‘Y’ seams: all the patchwork is stitched in straight lines
• The appliquéd hexagons are basted over papers, meaning that you don’t have to be concerned about turning under their edges as you stitch them to the quilt; but alternative methods of appliqué can be used if you prefer
• Suitable for crafters with intermediate skills – although a determined beginner willing to commit to a major project will enjoy making this quilt
