<br />
The directions on how to cut and measure are a bit involved but I'll try it anyway. The lack of fixed measurements is because you might have used another size hexagon than I did. I used the 0.5" hexies but if you used the o.75", the 1" or one of the even larger sizes, fixed measurements will be wildly off.<br />
To make this easier to do for yourself, copy the directions, but instead of the words in parentheses, write the actual measurements you arrive at, measurements that are consistent with the size of hexagon you chose to use.<br />
<br />
Cut two strips of fabric which is (height of letter block) x (two hexagons width + 0.5")<br />
Join one to each side of your filler-blocks.<br />

Join the blocks into rows, making sure, on the last row, that the strip on the side of your filler-block goes towards the letters, making an extra space between letters and fillers.<br />

(Picture above is a mock-up and the rows are not yet joined on it)<br />
<br />
Measure the longest row; that's the TUVW row <br />
Measure the shortest row; that's the KLMN row<br />
Divide the difference in length with two<br />
<br />
To the width arrived at, add (two widths of your hexagon + o.5" seam-allowance)<br />
<br />
Add a strip (height of letter block) x (the above measurement) to each side of each row.<br />
Yes. You will waste some fabric, but this is the fastest way to do it.<br />
If you don't want to waste any fabric, measure carefully and add strips to either side of each row, according to your measurements.<br />
Find the centre on each strip (folding in half is great) <br />
<br />
Join the strips, so that the centre of one row matches the centre of the next row.<br />

Since I have made the letters individually, it is a bear (downright impossible) to press half-way decently in the joins between blocks and in the joins between rows.<br />
I pressed to either side to ease the bulk of the 'bad' joins.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Trim the sides. I aimed at having 1" (= one width of hexagon) on the side of the blocks on the longest row (TUVW)<br />
<br />
I then added the same width of Background-fabric border to the top and the bottom, giving a (fairly) uniform space all around the letters. And finally, a wider border, made with my focus-fabric, all the way around.<br />

Red line is new stitching-line, green line is new cutting-line. If you have trouble seeing it, click on the picture to enlarge it.<br /><br />Add these four 5-edged shapes to the 2.25" central square (cut 2.75")<br />Be careful NOT to stitch into the seam-allowances. Sew only from cross-hair to cross-hair (or the equivalent). That is the 'joy' of Y-seams or inset seams, but it is possible to do, even on the machine, even for me (!), but only if one does not sew into the seam-allowance but stops exactly at the corner.<br /><br />Add the 1" (finished width) strips to the centre.<br />Strictly speaking, to make the relationship between the pieces exactly the same as is found in Brackman's block, you now need to cut the strips 1.4" for a finished width of 0.9". I have opted to make mine 1" finished (and printable with the 1" Log Cabin collection), and to print them 5" long. They need to be trimmed, BUT, if you print these, align the centre of each log with the centre seam on the 'messed with' shapes that border the centre square. That way, you can also align the 1.875" HST you need to add to the corners with the centres of both ... centre and strips, and can wait to trim until the block is actually finished.<br /><br />For the 8" block, use <a href="http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/2011/09/37-confederate-rose.html">Barbara Brackman's directions</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3ve9zi46u39ur7hyb0ak">Printing table</a>.Tildehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15794082477175983130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043481788619567676.post-87646788932274967092011-09-07T01:16:00.000-07:002011-09-07T01:16:00.315-07:00The Letter P - Hexagon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjafm8PdKOtwzOV2lg47nfCylfwZ9_jLjzyALU2tNMKbyHsmQTCSI3w19rRx6hhz9qLHZ88qKvfxGXp5AUCu7FjmlhrhxLPY5P0nzsRu_ZYouKvi0km31rgpx1Z5lhAoPKZUznBAlr6A50/s1600/IMG_4371.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

<br />Week 35 of <a href="http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/">Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler</a> is called 'Star of the West' ... or Clay's Choice ... or Harry's Star. It's an easy block to make, and looks good in many different versions.
<br />
<br />The fabric values given in the printing table are based on the actual block shown on Brackman's blog, and not on the colour-values given in the drawing at the end of her post.

<br />Week 34 of the Brackman sampler, and we're rolling in HSTriangles.
<br />The 6" block is eminently Inklingoable
<br />The 8" block is less so.
<br />
<br />A few notes (on the 8" size) :
<br />I have given the Inklingo-sizes that are equivalent to the sizes Brackman gives on her blog. However, please note, that since this block has 3 triangles spread over 4" of space, the size given by Brackman will give you a unit which is too small.
<br />
<br />If you - like I - own just about every Inklingo collection known to woman, you can use other sizes. A better approximation to the sizes actually needed to make an accurate 8" block are :
<br /><ul><li>1.32" HST in the 15" Feathered Star collection</li><li>2.64" HST in the 30" Feathered Star collection</li></ul>The 1.32" HST equals Brackman's template A (where you need 12 of one fabric and 8 of another)
<br />The 2.64" HST equals Brackman's template C (where you need 4)
<br />And then you need the 4" HST

<br />Week 33 of <a href="http://civilwarquilts.blogspot.com/">Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler</a> is called 'Indiana Puzzle'. As always, reading her stories about the Civil War is very interesting. I, at least, am learning a lot.
<br />
<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Completely re-written on August 25th</span> after Linda Franz issued an intoxicating SIX different sizes of <a href="http://inklingo.com/shop/drunkards-path-templates/28">Drunkard's Path collections</a>, and a wonderful Design Book.
<br />
<br />I've made one printing table for the 6" block, which uses the 3" Drunkard's Path collection. BUT, there are two different options on the 8" block : one circle (using the 4" Drunkard's Path collection) or 4 circles (using the über-cute 2" Drunkard's Path collection).
<br />
<br />Taking my cue from Brackman's block, he printing-tables are based on using 4 different fabrics. Two different ones for the circle, two other ones for the background.
<br />HOWever, you can make the block using just two fabrics, and the AB combo layout found in all the Drunkard's Path collections. If you do that, you need to print two combos of both fabrics to make this week's block.
<br />
<br />When it comes to the 3" collection, a 5" charm will print one of each shape, and by using 4 charms and printing the combo, you'll have a wonderful, scrappy block.

<br />This week's block on Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler is inspired by the Carolina Lily. The 'real' block has 3 lilies and some applique. This one only has one lily, placed in a 'vase'.
<br />
<br />The block uses (mostly) the <a href="http://inklingo.com/shop/diamonds/8/product/60-inch-lemoyne-star/24">6" LeMoyne star</a> collection for the 6" size block. For the 8" size block, follow Brackman's directions, or make the 6" block, and then Log-cabin it, using the <a href="http://inklingo.com/shop/log-cabin-rectangles/24/product/log-cabin-1-inch/97">1" Log Cabin collection</a>, to make the 6" block into an 8" one.
<br />
<br />I would hybrid-piece this one. Use the machine for most of the seams, but hand-stitch the inset seams between the petals of the lily, just as I would an ordinary / full LeMoyne star.
