I’m super excited to be participating in Aneela Hoey’s Foxglove Blog Showcase.
Her brand new foxglove line for Cloud9 fabrics is so adorable and was super fun to sew with. I am all about these colors so I didn’t hesitate to participate in this one. Foxglove is available in fabric stores now.
I immediately had visions of triangles when I saw this fabric line. Not sure why..lol. But I went with it and am pretty excited that my vision translated to fabric perfectly. I’ve written up a pattern for this one and it’s available in my shop.
Triangle Hexies is a modern hexie quilt pattern. The white sashing really makes the hexies stand out. Pull out your favorite fat quarters for this quilt as it shows them off beautifully.
I recommend a 8in or larger triangle ruler for Triangle Hexies. I use this one here.
Triangle hexies includes instructions for baby size, throw size and Twin size.
The little foxes in this line are just too cute! I paired this Fox Glove fabric with my very favorite grey. This gray is Kona in Silver. It’s the perfect shade of cool grey.
This Triangle Hexies quilt is quilted on my domestic machine with my favorite walking foot technique. This is the multi stitch zig zag using my walking foot. I use this walking foot for my Janome Sewing maching.

OHHH, THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL QUILT! lOOVE IT VERY MUCH!
Emily you did a beautiful job. The pattern just pops. Fun!
I. Can’t. Wait. until this pattern is released!!! I’m wanting to make twin baby quilts with it! :) Yours is beautiful and Angela’s fabric is simply gorgeous!
Pretty, pretty. Love the quilting, too.
This is just fab!!!!! Love the colours, design, and the wavy quilting. x
Emily, I’d really like to see a tutorial on how you machine quilt – or just even a run down on where you like to start when you begin machine quilting , like do you start at the top of the quilt or middle? Your quilts are beautiful and I love visiting your blog and IG.
Hi Tara :)
I’ll keep that in mind for the future :) My short answer is I start about 1/4 of the way through the quilt. So not the top and not the middle. Ripply and pulled fabric from quilting drives me crazy so I try my best not to allow that to happen. I have a few things that I do to prevent that from happening.
I love hexies and it’s great that you’ve added that special band of white around them. Cute, cute.
Thanks!
What background fabric are you using here? It’s absolutely perfect!
Emily
I love this pattern. However when cutting for the throw I found 1 yard for the white is not enough, I need 1 1/4 yards to cut 29 strips 1.5 inches (29×1.5= 43.5) and I needed 30 strips of the background fabric. Am I doing something wrong? Is it correct you need 120 triangles for the throw and 120 of each white and background? I can get 4 cuts out of each background strip and 5 cuts out of each white strip.
Thanks
Lyna
I think you are right! I’m not sure if I needed the full 29 strips since I unfolded the last piece of each strip to get one more piece. I’m definitely going to adjust the pattern requirements though because what I tell you is just over a yard. Not sure what happened there… thank you so much for pointing that out!
Oh, I’m definitely going to have to get some of this – I’m obsessed with foxes.
Do your instructions share how to combine the color triangle pieces so the different fabrics are combined as you used them? I love the way you have laid this quilt out and would like to mimic it if possible. I’m pretty new to quilting, and would like to purchase this pattern to make a quilt for our soon-to-arrive granddaughter. Thanks in advance.
