Patchwork Please! Zakka Along 2: Happy Hexagon Trivet
August 19th, 2013
Welcome to the Zakka Along 2 to celebrate Ayumi’s Patchwork Please! book! My turn on the Zakka Along is making the Happy Hexagon Trivet. My heart feels likes it’s squeezing as I look at all the beautiful photos of the projects in Ayumi’s book. Patchwork Please! is a smorgasbord of yummy projects for every taste, every occasion and every skill level. I love Ayumi and I love her all projects. And of course I love Ayumi’s lunch bag pattern - it’s only a matter of weeks and I’ll be on my one dozen’th one.
For my Happy Hexagon trivet I chose some fabrics from a cute Kawaii roll I got from Bunny’s Designs and paired it with some Robert Kaufman’s Essex Yarn Dyed (in Flax). Like mac n cheese, the two play so beautifully together. But then E V E R Y T H I N G plays beautifully with Essex! For the center piece I made my own pieced unit so I could use the little scrap of monkey I had. I chose to use the freezer paper method (which I learned how to do when I made my Treat Yo Self quilt from the Refrigerator Magnets Quilt Blocks pattern by Elizabeth) to make the trivet. By using the freezer paper, I was able to get my fussy cuts just perfect. Iron over what I wanted visible, and then trim it ¼” past the paper’s edge. Brilliant.
When I got to the Essex round, I stitched on large scraps, pressed…
…and then pressed on the freezer paper and lobbed off the fabric at ¼” past the paper’s edge.
Next round I did the same thing - pressed my freezer paper on to my fabric to fussy cut, and then cut ¼” past the paper’s edge, and then joined it to the hexagon.
After the yellow round, I did the same method as the previous round with Essex - stitched on, press freezer paper on, and then trim.
Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Bind.
I finished the trivet with some hand quilting.

August 19th, 2013Ooooh! Cute cute cute! So sweet you really need a toothache warning.
August 19th, 2013Oh so kawaii indeed! Love the fussy cutting!
August 19th, 2013I’m ashamed to admit that I love and own Ayumi’s book, but have yet to make a project. Too much work and not enough play makes Shelly a dull (and cranky) girl! Turning 50 this week, ugh! In my mind I’m still 20, but my knees say otherwise.
August 19th, 2013Eek I love that Robert Kaufman are now doing more colours of the Yarn Dyed Essex - it’s so lovely! Thanks for the chance to win.
August 19th, 2013I agree with you, Essex rocks!! I started my trivet last night and it’s coming together smoothly :)
