The Sugarbag is a modern hexagon quilt pattern from stitchandyarn.com that looks great in either solids or with the addition of a large-scale print. The pattern comes in cushion, throw and queen sizes, with templates included, and the half hexie version is a super quick make. #modernquilt #quiltpatterns #modernquiltpatterns #modernhexiequilt #hexiequilt #stitchandyarnquilts

The cushion version of this quilt is made using the English paper piecing (EPP) technique.

The throw and queen size quilts can be made in one of two ways. Either machine sewing columns of hexagons together – which results in sewing y-seams when joining the columns – OR by sewing half hexagons together in horizontal rows before sewing the rows together. There are no y-seams in that version, but it will create a seam across the middle of each hexagon.

During our lockdowns of 2021 I decided to give Quiltcon’s design challenge a go – the theme being hexagons. I'd been inspired by some vintage hexagons online and, is often the case with me, decided to supersize them and give them a more modern look using negative space and asymmetry.

Sugarbag is the result – named after Australia's native honeybee.

Happy quilting!
