The bowl measures 13 inches from a point to the opposite point.
Make six “A” pieces and one “B” piece. I made these pieces from quilted fabric.
Make a sandwich from a piece of fabric, batting and backing.
Quilt the sandwich as desired.
You can use appliques, trapunto, shadow trapunto or quilted motifs to embellish each piece.
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:
Sew the bottom sides of the “A” panels to the sides of the “B” center piece, following this succession:
Use a wide zigzag stitch and be sure you catch the both edges. Backstitch at the beginning and the ending of each seam.
This is how it looks after I stitched all the pieces around the hexagons:
The stitches on the back:
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.
After you completed all the stitches, you will have a bowl like this:
The back of the bowl:
And the funny part: the bowl is reversible !
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 :
and you must have some distance between two “A” pieces :
Happy sewing!

Beautiful bowl and excellent work. I found your tutorial so easy to understand and follow, but one question…. What is a trapunto? I have a lot to learn and appreciate your time taken to post your experience. Ruth in Washington
wow! wonderful!!!!
I'm just now seeing this, Geta, but it's beautiful! I've seen these in a local quilt shop, but didn't realize just how easy they were to make. How fun!
Geta, thank you so much for this tutorial. Your tutorial not only has taught me how to make these but it has encourage me to try new things. I have learned so much and I am very appreciative. Check out my work if you get a chance!

Shortly after coming across Geta’s webpage (about a month ago), I found these bowls and fell in love. I’ve since made six bowls and from the reactions I have a feeling I’ll be making many more. They are so super simple, but oh so spectacular! Everyone loves them. Another homerun Geta!
How long are the sides of your Pentagon and hexagon. I do not have a printer. Could you send your sizes, length of sides, to me at my Email. agape8198@gmail.com. Thank you, Kathleen,

Geta, I love your fabric bowls. However, I do not have a printer and I do not see the length of the lines for the Pentagon. The hexagon could be figured sine all six sides are equal.I hope you still look at this page!
What are they used for?
I love this bowl ! Can’t wait to try it. Off to the fabric shop.
Thanks so much
