The bowl measures 13 inches from a point to the opposite point.
I made it using my shadow trapunto technique.
I used these templates:
Download the templates here (this is a "pdf" file; you will need Adobe Reader to open it).
After you print and cut the templates, check out that the bottom side of the "A" piece has the same size as the side of the hexagon .
Make six "A" pieces and one "B" piece. I made these pieces from quilted fabric.
[показать]Make a sandwich from a piece of fabric, batting and backing.
Iron a heavy weight fusible interfacing on the backing fabric to get stiff pieces.
Quilt the sandwich as desired.
[показать] You can use appliques, trapunto, shadow trapunto or quilted motifs to embellish each piece.
[показать]After the quilting is complete, cut the pieces and satin stitch around all edges.
Use a nice backing fabric because the back of the bowl will be visible.
Below is the front and the back of a piece:

[показать] Next, to form the bowl, you have to sew the sides between 2 pieces. Use a satin stitch or a close zig-zag stitch and make it wide enough to catch both sides. Start from the center, take a few stitches then backstitch. Continue to sew and pull the sides together as you sew, so they meet. Sew over them; it's very easy.
Do this for all the sides.

If you want to make your own templates, be sure the bottom side of the "A" piece has the same size as the side of the hexagon :
