Honeycomb Stars Sew-Along

took place in 2021

Do you love the look of quilts where the colors seem to change in gradual gradients? Whether ombre or multi-color, these blends are visually compelling and so satisfying to create. Come give it a try and join us in this sew-along!

The Honeycomb Stars quilt pattern helps guide your fabric choices by dividing up the quilt into different value sections. It’s entirely machine sewn and includes a version with small scale hexagons and another with larger scale hexagons. There are so many beautiful iterations to discover!

The Honeycomb stars Quilt

a study in value blends

This patchwork design is created with two shapes: the hexagon and the triangle. Even though the patchwork looks intricate, it's actually straightforward to sew with no special seams. Traditionally pieced on the sewing machine. Suitable for confident beginners or intermediate quilters.

Pattern includes 2 sizes: throw and queen/king

This is a stash friendly quilt! With its repeating shape structure, this quilt allows for lots of variation in fabrics. Feel free to use a greater variety of fabrics than the minimum suggested here. You can make substitutions too! For example, don’t have quite enough of one solid for your triangles? Just substitute two similar solids or even near-solids to fill the quota!

Throw Size Quilt

Hexagons: 5 dark value fabrics in 1/4 yard cuts, 5 mid value fabrics in 1/4 yard cuts, 5 mid-low value fabrics in 1/4 yard cuts and 2 low value fabrics in 1/4 yard cuts
Triangles: 1/2 yard dark value fabric, 1/2 yard mid value fabric, 1/2 yard mid-low value fabric and 1/3 yard low value fabric
Backing: 3 1/3 yards

Note: You can use fat quarters instead of 1/4 yard cuts for the hexagons.
