    Default Scrappy Hexie Quilt - Halfway there!!!

    I am making a scrappy Hexie quilt where each Hexie is a different fabric. There will be no duplicates at all. I have reached my halfway point. I decided it would be easier to make this quilt in 2 sections and then join them together. There are 852 one inch hexies in the section I have completed. There will be over 2000 different fabrics & hexies when I get this finished!!!!

    What size are the hexies? A grandmother's flower garden is on my to-do list, and I'm considering the best size. Yours is beautiful. Congratulations on such patience!!

    That looks great! Wow! That is a lot of different fabrics if there are no duplicates. What a neat idea!

    I am using 1" hexies. I bought the Fiskars paper punch and using cheap card stock that I have left over from my scrap booking days
