| 20100229773 | Method and Template for Creating Hexagon Patterns in Quilting - A method is described using paired templates for simplifying the design and construction of a hexagon based quilt top. This method overcomes the inherent difficulty in traditional hexagon quilting. In order to sew individual hexagons together and have them lie in a plane, the seam that connects each edge must stop short of running the entire length of that edge by the width of the seam on the adjacent edge at each end. A method is described that allows for continuous stitch lines without having to precisely start and stop stitching. It employs a shape within a shape concept, allowing a hexagon to fit inside a triangle which lends itself to sewing together using easier stitching techniques. The hexagon is sized to precisely fit inside an equilateral triangle and the tips of the triangles that fall outside of the hexagon shape, themselves come together to form a hexagon when the triangles are joined together. A variation of this method allows the original hexagon shapes to be joined at the points rather than the sides to allow greater flexibility in the final quilt design. | 09-16-2010 |
