    I think you should do it. I can see why the hexie craze is zooming in popularity. It is so interesting to me to the heights to which the simple hexie has soared. I like them but don't plan to join-I have too many things going on.

    Your hexies, your project, your quilt and you're good at it. Of course and why not?

    I agree with the others go for it.

    You'll never know if you don't try. Many great ideas are lost in thought and never put to practice. You are definitely accomplished at making hexies, so why not branch out and discover new patterns. Be sure and post your progress.

    I am doing my first hexie but using 2" ones. How do you join them? I mean how do you arrange them for joining, I made some "flowers" but I see they need "in betweens" to make it work. I like having the hand work for evenings but whew! it is a long time project, right?

    There are a few YouTube tutes to show you how....also Pinterest has oodles of hexie designs. Also check out Mickey Dupree -- she does interesting things with 2" hexies.....

    I think a dog bone would be really cute. I made a placemat for my dogs dishes one time that had a bone on it. Not out of hexies though. It was appliqued. I don't have the patience for hexies but I admire people that do. If you enjoy it I say "do it". You always do a beautiful job with them too.

    I think it is a fun idea! I think it would be cute, especially with a doggie appliqued somewhere on it.
