This is the quilt patis that I used for my pincushion. I used the 1 inch side. I called Pati on the phone and she gave me some quilt shops in my area that I could purchase them from or I could of ordered from her on the phone or online. They are fun and very addictive to make. It is a nice project to have in your purse while you are waiting at Dr. office, school, appts. etc.

Have fun making the quilt hexagons.

I use the paper ones. The plastic ones are hard for me to remove. If I'm sewing a lot together I don't use templates just sew 1/4 seam from hex to hex and no whip stitching needed.
