Easy Floating Hexagons Quilt Materials

• 2 packs of 42 pieces of 5″ squares
• 2 yards of background
• 1/4 yard of cornerstones
• 1 1/2 yards of border
• 3/4 yards of binding
• half hexi template

How to Make Floating Hexagons Quilt

Step 1:

Cut your background fabric into 5″ squares.

Step 2:

Place a background 5″ square on top of a 5″ solid square, right sides together. Place the half hexi template. Lay the ruler so that the long part is in the middle, then cut. Repeat with the other half.

Step 3:

Separate the white ones from the colored ones. Get the white ones, stack them, and cut them in half. Place them beside the colored half hexagon just like in the photo below. Lay them out first then fold them over. The straight edges don’t match up with anything. Just lay it as close to fitting as you can. You will have a little bit of color peeking out. Sew them with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Do it on both sides. Press it flat.

Step 4:

Sew the two units together to form a hexagon. Trim if needed.

Step 5:

Add a 1 1/2″ sashing to each block. You will be sewing 9 blocks in a row with strips in between. In between each row, you are going to add a sashing row with your 1 1/2″ cornerstones. Just the 1/4 yard of fabric and cut 1 1/2″ strips and sub-cut to 1 1/2″ squares.
