It's typical of patterns in my Rotary Cutting Revolution book. Efficient cutting without waste or measuring.
I got together with Rachel Low here in New York at her Pins & Needles shop. Rachel is the C&T author of Girl's Guide to DIY Fashion We helped each other to make our how to videos. Have a look at mine, and if you hear a phone ring once, well, rings happen.
These fabric hexagons are suited for English Paper Piecing EPP. After making the video I polished up the pattern and made it available as this free PDF download
My technique-filled class Traditional Blocks Made Simple is on Craftsy. It includes as a bonus the PDF of Rotary Cutting Revolution. Identical to the paperback version complete with 300+ photos and easy to print patterns. All in all, a sweet deal to celebrate National Sewing Month for yourself.

C&T Publishing encouraged its authors to mark this National Sewing Month and I got on board. My contribution is a very special Hexagon pattern that's been, unbelievably, under wraps for ten years.
How to Make the Best Use of Fabric
Use my line drawing to turn a 10" square of fabric into 7 hexagons (and 4 half-hexagons) in 10 cuts. Without waste.It's typical of patterns in my Rotary Cutting Revolution book. Efficient cutting without waste or measuring.

Anita,
This is great, I love how you figure out how to get as much out of fabric as possible without waste. And...keeping the orientation of the fabric the same is genius.

Anita, I gained access to this book through your Craftsy class and just love many of your techniques. I have been raving about your class at the last two quilt meetings and did a quick demo of your cutting method for the pineapple quilt. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with us.
