I’ve added a Free Downloads page (in the top navigation banner)! Here’s why. In this month’s Quilt magazine, there’s a super cute pattern for a grandma’s garden wall hanging using English paper-piecing. You need 37 hexagons for the pattern, and I was feeling intimidated by the instructions - which include tracing with a ruler and a pencil. So I opened up Illustrator and created my own template sheet. So anyone that needs some hexagons can print them out.

my workstation...I cut two sheets of 3/4 in. hexagons out while watching Dora with my son. Pretty fast! Now I just need to go pick out my fat eighths to make that cute wall hanging.

There are tons of free patterns online for Grandma’s Garden-type patterns. I’m planning on adding more templates now that I know how. If you have a specific size request, let me know. They’re really easy to make.

Also, if you use the template, I’d love it if you’d link back to me so I can see your work! If you’ve never tried English paper-piecing, here’s a great tutorial from Sunshine’s Creations.

Happy Sewing, everyone!

How would I make a paper sheet template of 2″ templates? Is there one on the site?

Looking for a sheet of a printable small diamond. Can you help? Thanks

I would like to know if you know of a web site that I can print out different size hexagons.

No - that’s really why I made my own. There are lots of sites that sell the precut hexagons in lots of sizes, and you can use them over and over. But really, I found, all you need is one. I just draw the template on, and then hand sew them together. Good luck!

Thanks for the hexagon templates. Will use them for making a scrap quilt with all my small pieces!
