I want to make a quilt like this for my soon-to-be 5 year old's birthday, and I've finally settled on this pattern for the fabrics I have. Naturally, I found this image in Pinterest - home of the dead-end links. There was no further info for this, and searching "honeycomb quilt" (which it was labeled as) has brought up hexie quilts. I'm a novice quilter, and I know hexies are beyond my skill set. :) This is an ideal pattern, and I would love any help finding instructions for this! :)

"Pinterest - home of the dead-end links" . . . . so true!

when you search, enter "-pinterest" at the end and it will exclude any result from Pinterest.

Pinterest is so ingrained to the inner workings of the internet that only sometimes works in some search engines :-(

Try googling for half hexies and see what patterns/tutorials you can find. These look to me like they’re just half hexies that someone the added the white to the bottom of each half and white in between each half. You’d still be able to assemble these in rows and then sew the rows together even with the borders. permalinksaveparenteditdisable inbox repliesdeletereply

It does look sewn in rows which makes it less intimidating! I found a copy of the Elizabeth Hartman book with the pattern for $5 on ebay so here's hoping it comes out!

This is close! I may do this depending on if I want to add in another fabric!

Look at Triangle quilts. If you added a thin white strip at the bottom of the triangle you would end up with the white border.

That makes sense! Thank you!

If you want to try without pattern, I think you just sew strips of white on two sides of the coloured strips. Cut out the triangles, and see together in rows.

I think I'll need the pattern to help guide me through it all without mucking it up. I've only ever done patchwork with squares and strip quilts. I can wing it with clothew and other things, but quilts are intimidating!
