October 2026

 This months project was a hexagon box made form 'Quilt As You Go' hexagons. 

It was enthusiastically taken up, with some very nice fabric combinations. Instructions can be found here. The folder also includes a quilt and bag pattern using QAYG hexagons.

There is also a pattern for a pentagon box, this one uses fabric covered pelmet vilene pentagons, rather than QAYG motifs, alternative instructions are included to make with card and wadding. Instructions.

Several participants had chosen to use some recycled hexagons, one had some from a friend and another had some her mother had made into rosettes. The rosettes were layered with wadding and another rosette as backing.
