I am working on a Moda Bake Shop project that is under wraps…and my crumb blocks for my crumb quilt (this is really calling me) but I can’t show you my Moda Bake Shop project and you’ve seen lots of my crumb blocks so I thought I would show you what I just finished working on.
It’s my twirling hexagon baby quilt made with my Accuquilt Go!
I had lots of fun working on this. Â All in all, I am happy with how it turned out. When I start out with a design not knowing if it will work, it takes lots of faith to jump in and cut all the fabric out.
I had a big piece of stripped fireman fabric for the back….I think it looks okay….
The quilting design is nothing special….just some swirls.
I debated about the binding and border. Â A couple opinions around the house suggested putting the solid red on the border and the puppy print as the binding but, I trumped them and did it this way. Â I’m glad I did. Â I think the solid red at the binding finishes the edge better.
If you want to make your own, here’s a little video to show you how it’s done.

Hi Jo,
Sweet quilt for a baby boy. I think the border solid with the busy binding would have been just as pretty. *wink* Is Accuquilt still awarding dies for videos? I was just curious. There isn’t alot of Hoopla over the GO! like there was anymore.
Very cute quilt and dog.
Lovely! I really like the solid red for the binding too.
Very fun! Love the bright colors and the pattern is very cool.
Great quilt – like the fabrics and the model!
What a fun happy quilt! Good job! Toni
I am a total sucker for those dog faces!

A very happy quilt…and the puppy is adorable too!
Wow — not at all how I guessed you did it. And now I need the hexagon die, too!
Great tutorial! I never would have thought about doing it that way either. Thanks!
I love this hexi pattern. I thought the first time I saw it there was a notation that the written pattern for it would be published in on of the spring 2013 magizines. But I can’t find this notation now. was I mistaken? If not can you tell me the name of the magizine again, please? Thanks
Hi Jo… I am working on a similar quilt using 3/4″ hexies and half hexies from Paper Pieces, and using the English Paper Piecing method, Kansas Troubles fabrics for the Half hexies, and A pale beige/ivory Moda marble for the hexies. Love the pattern
I love your helper. Is that your quality control staff.
Thanks for the idea on this quilt. I have some fabric and this just gave me the idea what to use it one.
I am looking forward to making this one, I just bought my go cutter and tried a sample of this block. I have a friend is about to have her seventh child and we know this one is a girl Her quilt will be a hexagon surrounded by six siblings and encompassed by at least two borders( her loving mom and dad) Now off to my scrap pile for this baby to come.
Great tutorial! I just love everything about this little quilt. Just bought the half hex die and think I can accomplish the same pattern with a seam in the center. If not…guess I’ll have to get the full deal! Thanks a lot!
Could live without dogs or cats on quilts. What if the recipient has allergies
@ Diane Scott
That’s why a quilt can be washed.
Unfortunately people don’t think of other people’s allergies when they go out in public after they have bathed in an entire bottle of perfume/cologne. I would much rather have the dog on my quilt!
I have dog allergies and I own a dog or two I’m much more allergic to the perfume/cologne.
