Ther you go........it's for machine stitching the hexagons but you could adapt it to hand stitching it easily enough.

Thanks so much!!! I just read the tutorial over... What Are we getting ourselves into Granny Cat!!! LOL

now to figure out how much fabric of each colour to get????

ooh thanks so much mamatobugboo!!! I think we are about on our way to get started on this little darling. I have lots of old file folders that will be GREAT to use for this. I will definetely be going the English Paper Piece route me thinks....
I will read over those links a bit more and then decide my fabrics and how I will need.

By hand? You are brave! Here's one method you might want to look at

That is the way I plan to make mine. I made pin cushions using that method years ago and they turned out great.. My first one lasted close to 10 years or more. I only made a new one a couple years ago to replace it. They are great when you have such long quilting pins and I made a big one to hold lots of those pins!

Absolutely!!!

So Granny Cat are ya with me! You gonna do one too??? huh huh???? I'll bring the wine, you bring the chocolate!

I made a queen size GFG using pre cut hexagon shapes I purchased. Do not have the addy where I got them but it was a lot easier than cutting them myself. And you can reuse them over and over, It is a wonderful project to take along to Dr appt. , kids sports games etc. Very easy to do by hand but also very time consuming. then I hand quilted it. Only took me5-6 yrs. ACK!!!!

If you go to this site and find graph papers, you can print off hexagons by the sheet in pdf..choose your size and print or save to file....
