Fragments3
168 Machine Embroidery Designs That Transform Triangles Into Infinite Possibility
What if moving beyond the square unlocked an entirely new creative dimension?
Fragments³ invites you into the world of triangles and hexagons—where 16 simple geometric fragments multiply into 168 stunning embroidery designs, each one waiting to become part of something beautiful.
This isn't just a collection of designs. It's a creative playground where texture meets geometry, where you can stitch a single elegant hexagon or build an entire quilt of dancing stars and honeycomb patterns.
Whether you're drawn to the meditative rhythm of repetition or the thrill of endless experimentation, Fragments³ gives you the foundation—and the freedom—to make it entirely your own.

From Squares to Triangles: A New Creative Journey
If you loved Fragments² and its exploration of squares and symmetry, you're going to adore where Fragments³ takes you next.
This collection was born during The Fragmented Summer—a creative exploration with my Zentangle students where we played with 12 different fragments. Two of those fragments were triangles and they were so captivating that I couldn't stop thinking about them. What would happen if we built upward? If we let triangles dance into hexagons? If we gave them texture and dimension through machine embroidery?
The answer is in your hands right now.
Fragments³ (Fragments Cubed—because triangles have three sides!) opens up creative territory most quilters never explore. While traditional quilt blocks live in the world of squares, this collection invites you to think differently. To play with shapes that fit together in unexpected ways. To discover secondary patterns that only reveal themselves when you step back and see the whole.
What's Included: A Complete Creative System
16 Original Triangle Fragments
Each fragment is a geometric meditation—some precise and angular, others flowing and organic. These aren't just pretty designs; they're building blocks for something bigger.
168 Embroidery Designs in Multiple Sizes
Every fragment has been transformed into:
- Hexagons in three size options (6i, 8i, and 12i)
- Triangles in four size families (3i, 2X, 3X, 4X, and 5X)
The beauty? These designs are infinitely scalable. Whether you have a modest 6" Ă— 10" hoop or the giant hoops on the newest machines, you can scale these designs to fit your space and your vision.

Stitch count range:
Triangle Fragments: 145–998 stitches (avg: 442)
6i Hexagons: 1,303–6,898 stitches (avg: 3,230)
8i Hexagons: 3,228-19,121 stitches (avg: 8,559)
12i Hexagons: 9,028-34,063 stitches (avg: 19,008)
Fully Stitched Textures
These are not outlines. Not appliqué placement guides. These are richly textured, fully stitched designs that create dimension and visual interest whether you use matching thread (for subtle texture) or contrasting thread (for bold impact).
4 Complete Quilt Layout Guides
This is where Fragments³ becomes truly special. You're not just getting designs—you're getting tested, proven quilt layouts with complete instructions:
Layout 1: Classic Honeycomb (94 hexagons)
The timeless beauty of hexagons arranged in rows, perfect for showcasing your favorite fragments.
Layout 2: Hexagons + Triangles (70 hexagons + 120 triangles)
Triangles fill the spaces between hexagons, creating clean edges at top and bottom.
Layout 3: Hexagons + Star Triangles (59 hexagons + 116 triangles)
The same elements as Layout 2, but offset to create stunning six-pointed stars around each hexagon. (This is where the magic really happens!)
Layout 4: All Triangles (174 triangles)
Pure geometric flow. The ultimate canvas for color gradations and experimental layouts.
Each layout includes:
- Fabric yardage calculations for 1-10 colors
- Multiple size options (from 48" Ă— 54" up to 64" Ă— 80" by varying the size of the hexagons and triangles used)
- Step-by-step construction strategies
- Options for mixing embroidered and plain pieces

The Creative Freedom You've Been Craving
Here's what makes FragmentsÂł different from any other embroidery collection:
You Can Stitch All, Some, or None
- Embroider every piece for maximum texture and visual impact
- Mix embroidered and plain shapes for contrast and efficiency
- Skip embroidery entirely and use the layouts as traditional pieced quilt patterns
The choice is always yours.
Perfect for Any Hoop Size
Have a smaller hoop? Scale the designs down. Have one of the new giant hoops? Stitch the densest versions at their largest sizes. The designs adapt to your machine and your creative vision.
Endless Combinations
In the design collection, each hexagon uses just ONE fragment, repeated six times. But here's where it gets exciting: you can combine different fragments to create entirely new designs.
Use swirls in one section and geometric lines in another. Mix organic and angular. Create custom hexagons that no one else will ever have.
(This is exactly what we'll explore in the bonus masterclass!)
Thread Color = Instant Transformation
- Match thread to fabric for subtle, sophisticated texture
- Use contrasting thread for bold, graphic impact
- Mix thread colors across fragments to create secondary patterns
The same design looks completely different depending on your thread choice. It's like getting multiple collections in one.
Who FragmentsÂł Is For
This collection is perfect for:
✨ Modern quilters who love geometric designs and want to expand beyond traditional blocks
✨ Fragments² fans ready for the next creative adventure with a whole new shape vocabulary
✨ Embroidery enthusiasts who want to play in their software, experimenting with scaling and combining designs
✨ Anyone intimidated by hexagon quilts who wants a clear roadmap with tested layouts and complete instructions
✨ Creative souls who love the idea of starting with a simple fragment and watching it grow into something magnificent
The Power of Triangles
Most quilters live in a world of squares. Traditional blocks. Nine-patches. Log cabins. Squares are comfortable. Familiar. Safe.
But triangles? Triangles open entirely new creative territory.
When you build with triangles:
- Hexagons emerge naturally from six triangular pieces
- Six-pointed stars bloom where triangles meet
- Secondary patterns appear that you never planned but can't stop admiring
- The same shapes create different effects depending on how you arrange them
This collection gives you 168 ways to explore that territory—with complete guidance so you never feel lost, and infinite flexibility so you never feel constrained.
