I have made many hexagons, size 1.5 inches and have been looking for some great patterns to make with them.
Dos anyone have any great ideas?

There are many variations of the Grandmothers Flower Garden. Look that up and see if any of those suit your fancy.

I have no idea if this link will work, you may have to be a member of the english paper piecing group to see it, but I thought this snail trail lay out was brilliant

There are a lot of shapes that work well with epp, not just hexagons

I'm addicted to hexies too! I had a break from them to finish off a load of quilts that needed doing by Christmas and I really missed being able to just pick it up and do a bit whenever I felt like it.
I've just started a new one that is similar to the snail trail one above, but I designed it myself. I used the design sheets that are available for free on the paper pieces website and just coloured them in until I found a design that I really liked :-)

Bonnie Hunter works on a large hexagon hand project as she travels. Put hexagon quilt into the search bar at www.quiltville.blogspot.ca

Also search on Google to see photos of hexagon quilts. I have seen some interesting patterns posted on this site.
