Based on the traditional Hexagon shape, Jennie shows how to create this block. She talks about making a simple light-box which could be useful for other projects too.
Jennie has several other helpful tips too in this workshop including where she uses a small touch of glue to hold things in place. She creates her own bias but suggests you might like to purchase the ready-made version. Bias comes in a wide variety of colours. You can find this pattern in our website.
