The hexagon or honeycomb pattern for quilts dates back to the 18th century where paper templates were used for forming perfect patchwork. More than 200 years later, we are still fascinated by English Paper Piecing. Shop owner and master quilter, Angie Lamoree, will teach the time-honored basics for preparing the fabric and paper forms. See how fabric color placement can accentuate the original flower or change the hexagon pattern into something completely new. Practice Angie's modern method for piecing the tiny hexagons on a sewing machine, plus learn to applique the design on a background quilt block.
