I started my Hexie quilt when my twins were in baseball, (6 yrs. old)would sit and work on it whenever was " waiting" for anything and etc. , I have laid it down off and on Over the years. My twins are now 17 and one has asked for it to be his..... I am still planning on it being a queen size but have much more to do. I will post a picture as soon as I get a few extra minutes to resize....or quilt show starts this week so have tons going on. Anyways my Hexie quilt is totally scrappy with no main design.

Do you always have a plan or work from a pattern ? Just love the hand work and the joy of making those darling little things! What do you do?

We are about at the same place, I have about 12 made also. I plan on joining them together in front of the tv. (As soon as I find a green I like, I'm going traditional.) Then I'll take my little bag of sewing when I go out and about. It's amazing how many can get done waiting in Dr's offices. But then I'm going scrappy so color placement doesn't really matter.

I have a quick question for other EPPers! At what point do you press your hexies? Before you take the papers out? Straight after you take out the papers? Or once it's all joined together?

I started sewing these a little over a year ago. I love the portability of the project. These are 3/4". I also have a flimsy of this size with GMFG blocks as a doll quilt for my GD.
