Thread: EPP Hexagons What Size?

I did a Grandma's Flowergarden using 1" EPP Hexagons before (my avatar pic). Now, I'm considering starting another EPP project. I'm thinking of putting three hexagons of the same fabric together (kind of like a triangle) and then maybe have the colours change gradually over the quilt (not sure if I've expressed myself well enough for you to understand what I'm talking about?).

Now my question: Should I do 1" hexagons again or would it look better/more intricate with smaller hexagons, say ¾"? Apart from needing more hexies for the same size quilt, are they harder to handle when they are smaller? Thanks for your help!

My first was 1 inch and my second is 3/4 inch (on the side). I have found I prefer them slightly smaller. I bought a paper punch that helps a lot. I cut all the one inch out one by one. The second one I am doing in diamonds in reds and blues and my pathways will be white (patriotic hopefully). I am hoping to donate to a veteran.

@ManiacQuilter: I found it hard to describe what I'm having in mind and I have no picture, but your table runner is the exact pattern I'm talking about I'm thinking of making many different sets of three's first and then order them so that the colours will change gradually over the quilt.

At least that was what I had in mind when I started this post. Now I found something else online I find very intriguing:

Kind like hexagons, but not exactly! So now I'm not sure for the moment what I'm going to do... I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks time and need something to take along, so I will have to make a decision before then!
