Default Hexi Quilts

I've done several quilts using Hexi's, I tend to stray from the traditional GFF. But here are a few photos I've pulled together in a collage. I am working on a new one right now that will be assembled in a wavy pattern using different color ways for each row.

I love the gfg and am working on one now, at the row joining stage and am not sure how to attach it to the background fabric. When I was at my lqs to pick out my background I mentioned this and was told when I get to that stage to come in and they would show me what to do.

Can't remember where I saw this quilt (maybe Pinterest) but it was a hexie quilt with cascading colors from top corner to bottom corner diagonally. Wish I knew where I saw this. It was scrappy in that within each color, there were multiple fabrics. Hope this is understandable!

This is similar to the one I mentioned above. (Found on Pinterest).

I just finished the top of mine and am waiting for my batting to arrive in the mail. But as you can see on mine I have some flowers that are a little different in the second row of petals because I didn't have enough of the color I wanted. Some of my border flowers are even multiple colors because I didn't want to cut yardage for a few hexies. The sides of my hexies are 2".

After looking at all the pictures it is apparent that it doesn't matter what setting a person uses -- all the quilts turn out beautiful!
