3D Hexagon Table Runner

The class has closed. Thank You! See Class photos at the bottom of the blog.

Aunt Judy's Attic

Instructor: Paco Rich

In class we will go through the steps for piecing together three - 3D Hexagons using the Easy Y Seams method to make a table runner. You will learn one way to nest your seams to line up points and reduce the bulkiness at your points. By the end of class we will have finished a table runner top measuring about 10" wide by 34" long. You will also leave the class with the skills needed to tackle any Y Seam you come across, such as tumbling blocks and six pointed stars.

**Important!!** If you have any questions at all, feel free to email me: LifesAQuilt.LAQ@gmail.com. 


Basic Supplies:
Sewing Machine
Sewing Notions - scissors, straight pins
Cutting Mat
Rotary Cutter
Fine Point Fabric Marking Tool - I like the FriXion pens
Thread - best if it matches one of your fabrics

Rulers: 
It is not necessary to have a special 60° ruler for this class, but this class gives you an excuse to have a cool new ruler or use the cool 60° triangle ruler you bought long ago. However, any ruler with a 60° line on it will work just as well.

**After our first class, the majority of the ladies felt it was easier to have the 60° triangle ruler - if you need one, let Judy know and she will have them ordered...
60° Triangle Ruler
Square Ruler with markings for 60°, 45° and 30°

You will also need a ruler that has 1/4" markings.

Fabric Supplies: 
What 3 colors:
You will need 3 different fabrics - a dark, a medium and a light. The 3 fabrics can be all of one color (ie: all green) OR you can have one focus fabric with two coordinating colors, as long as one is dark, one is medium and one is light.

If you are unsure: use your smartphone to take a picture of all 3 fabrics together. Change the photo to a black and white photo and you will see the tone. If all three fabrics look the same in the black and white photo, you might have trouble achieving the 3D look.

Examples:

Notice how the coral and green are almost the same tone in the black and white photo? If you look at the pieced runners above, you will notice the green/coral grape runner does not give off a strong 3D feel as compared to the other two.




How Much Fabric:
From each of the fabrics you will need to have at least 14" x WOF (width of fabric). This includes fabric for the triangles in between the hexagons.

Extra fabric for binding and backing is needed. Backing: need at least 14" x WOF. Binding using 2.5" half fold: need at least 8" x WOF.

Something to think about: If you have a focus fabric and want to fussy cut a particular section, plan on having more focus fabric.

  8. I need a printed copy of the pattern. That is the only way that I can make something like this. I have to have something that I can look at as I go. I am not as experienced as some others. If you can get me a written pattern I would appreciate it. I will gladly pay for the pattern. Thanks, Lucinda
