I like framed hexagons...I have done the English Paper Piecing, but I am getting old and it is harder to see. The simple hexagons that I do require you to layer 1 6" hexagon, 1 6" hexagon cut out of felt and one 6 1/2 inch hexagon. I sandwich them together with a safety pin. I take the larger hexagon with the good side to the table, then the felt hexagon and then the small hexagon. I fold the sides 1/4" and then fold that on top and stitch down, mitering as I go. As I have progressed, I have started making an additional layer with a hexagon cut out of the middle<PM me if you are interested> and it looks like a frame where I can put pictures of saints...attached you will find St. Jude encased in a framed framed hexagon. Prayers for your daughter....

excuse my scanner...Here is St.Jude
