Hexagon blocks with jelly rolls

These blocks are lots of fun to make. They are made with 2 1/2″ fabric strips.

You can use jelly rolls and make the blocks even faster.

Sewing the blocks together into a quilt top is really simple. You can watch how to sew the blocks together in the video.

I like hexagon blocks so much I even made a hexagon block sampler quilt, Hexagonal dream. Check the details below.

A 60 degree ruler is recommended but if you don’t have one you can always use a square ruler with 60 degree markings or the template that comes with the pattern.
