Hexagon bonus block # 4

This one uses Collection # 3, and - again - Linda has helped out and made a block in a different colour-way to mine.

Finished size is 3" to the side.

Fabric 1 (background)
5.5 x 6.25"

Fabric 2 (focus A)
3.75 x 5"

Fabric 3 (focus B)
4.5 x 5.5"


From page 122 of Collection # 3, pick the ink-colour that will work best with your fabric.
Cut a
5.5 x 6.25" piece of fabric and same size of freezer-paper.
Iron freezer-paper to the front / right side of the fabric.
Print 6 diamonds with a 1.5" side.

From page 99 of Collection # 3, pick the ink-colour that will work best with your fabric.
Cut a
3.75 x 5" piece of fabric and same size of freezer-paper.
Iron freezer-paper to the front / right side of the fabric.
Print one hexagon with a 1.5" side

From page 143 of Collection # 3, pick the ink-colour that will work best with your fabric.
Cut a
4.5 x 5.5" piece of fabric and same size of freezer-paper.
Iron freezer-paper to the front / right side of the fabric.
Print 6 triangles with a 1.5" side.

Lay your bits out, so you can see that they are all there.

Join the triangles to the side of the hexagon, using one, continuous thread (green arrows on picture to the right)

Join the diamonds to the star, in another, continuous thread (red arrows on picture to the right).
