In this tutorial, I will show you the more traditional method to sew hexagon blocks together.

ToggleA Brief History of the Hexagon Quilt
Always a favorite in the United States, hexagon quilts rose in popularity in the 1930s with the name “Grandmother's Flower Garden.”
The earliest hexagon template discovered was made in England in 1770, according to quilt researchers.
By 1803, this hexagon style became one of the most popular patterns in England.
Godey's women's magazine published a pattern in 1835 for this block, calling it the Hexagon pattern, and offering complete instructions for the paper-piecing construction method.
