Hexy Love in Serenity Blues
Charlie Bear Quilts
Karlyn Leslie, Quilt Pattern Designer
The next exciting phase in my design journey began with the fusion of two beloved blocks: whimsical hearts & classic hexagons! This pattern comes together column by column, promising to hook you forever on half rectangle triangles.
Twin Size Hexy Love Quilt
With the HRT columns forming the hexagon edges, the heart columns come together with ease. Following the pattern’s detailed charts will give you all the fabric combinations and number of left and right-facing HRT you need using the 2 at a time method. Once you start making them, you will fall in love with the process!
Serenity Blues by Gerri Robinson
Wish you lived in a cozy countryside cottage? Bring on the well-worn wooden furnishings, ruffled bedding, and floral-inspired decor. The Serenity Blues Collection will add a little nostalgic flavour to your space. From large-scale florals to ditsy prints, you have the perfect recipe to achieve that “scrappy” look with one collection.
Hexy Love: The Vintage Flowers Version
The Hexy Love pattern comes in two different styles, the one you see above with hexy rings (Vintage Flower Version), and a scrappy version.
Let’s Make Left-Facing HRT
Squaring up your HRT
When squaring up your HRT, it is important to remember, the diagonal line on your ruler will not line up with the corner of the HRT as it would when you are trimming half square triangles. The diagonal line will be offset roughly 1/8″. To achieve this, make sure those little 1/4″ dots on your ruler land right on the diagonal seam of your HRT.
You can see how both dots line up with the diagonal seam and intersect at the 5 1/2″ mark on the left and the 1/4″ mark on the right. This will keep your HRT “straight” in case it went a little wonky during pressing. The bottom of the HRT should line up with the 3″ line. In this block, it’s almost exactly on the line, so when I flip it around to trim the opposite side, there won’t be much to trim on that side.
TIP: Use washi tape to mark off the lines on your ruler to speed up the process of having to find the lines each time.
Hexy Love: The Vintage Flowers Version
The Hexy Love pattern comes in two different styles, the one you see below with hexy rings (Vintage Flower Version), and a scrappy version. This pattern can be purchased individually, or you could save and bundle both styles together: Scrappy & Vintage Flowers.
This collection has an oh-so-french-country aesthetic that is even more stunning in person.
The Hexy Love pattern was designed to showcase all those beautiful florals… and how cute does she look all rolled up?
This is the twin size Hexy Love, and you can see it even works as a topper on a Queen Bed.

In this version of Hexy Love, there are less HRT to make because of the way the hexies come together. In these areas of the pattern that form a ring, HRT are substituted with rectangles as you see below.
The Vintage Flowers version of Hexy Love features 3 sizes: baby, throw & twin. I can’t wait to see what you make! Tag us and #hexylovequilt!
