No pattern,, I saw a picture on ebay and it was a template set, but I didn't need any templates as I have a hexigon template and that is all that is needed. you just trace half of the hexigon and then add the 1/4 seam allowance and then make a full hexi by sewing two colors together and then you sew sets of 3 using the Y seam. How ever after studying it, I think it can be sewn together with a straight seam. I like doing the y seams so it 's not a problem with me. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay

Then you could sew the strips together, which would connect your center seams, that for the hexagon. No Y seams this way, that would work! You can also find hexagon shapes online, free, so you wouldn't have to buy anything, just make your own....
