Smile looking for quilting shape measurements

I am looking for a measurement for the different shapes to put in a new quilt I am making. Things such as Hexagon, 1/2 hex, Jewel, diamond, so on so on. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks a lot.

Not sure exactly what you are asking. A hexagon can be one inch or 20 inches!

Sounds like you are looking for the measurements for Grandmother's Flower Garden pieces? Google images for that pattern and see if that is what you are looking for. Some of that's pattern are all hexagons but some are put together in diamonds with small diamond shaped pieces in between.

Craftsy,com has free sizes of hexagon shapes that you can print. Hope this helps.

Check paperpieces.com. They have all sizes and even have a chart that shows how different shapes can go together. I believe that one side of a hexagon should equal one side of another shape. So no matter how big a hexagon you begin with another shape added to it should be the same size on the side measurement. Most paper piecing shapes are defined by the side measurement.
