Twisted Hexagons with Santa

I got busy last Christmas and made some Twisted Hexagon coasters (or large mug rugs) using up some lovely holiday scraps. The center hexagons are 5" high, with a finished height for the coaster of 10".

I was able to get two hexagons out of the Santa prints and then used two different prints for the half-hexagons. The binding is NOT cut on the bias - it's printed that way, so let's keep this secret to ourselves!

The half-hexagons are also easy to cut using a standard 60 degree multi-sized triangle ruler. I know you have one in your sewing room drawer! 

Cutting the half hexagons

Here are some half-hexagons I cut for a larger quilt. I had just a few left over and they inspired my coasters above.

My Festive Chickadees Twisted Hexagons quilt is ready to come out of the closet for decorating! These use the same size half-hexagons, but in a different fabric collection.

I like to keep these coasters on hand in a drawer for when I need to take a special hostess gift. And they're easy to finish with simple quilting.

Check out my various patterns in my Etsy shop. I have both 5" and 6" hexagon centers. It's a great way to use up some scraps and bring a smile on someone's face to be given such a sweet gift!
