I was at my LQS doing some sewing with the group on Thursday when someone showed us a really old GFG block. The hexagons had been folded and it looked almost as pretty on the back as it did on the front. We undid just enough stitches to see that each hexagon had been folded from a circle.
When I got home I did some internet browsing and searches and came up with the method used for this pattern. To me it seems to work up much faster than turning back the edges of fabric over a paper or plastic form. The website I am going to post has the instructions for folding the hexagon and then uses it to make a pincushion. I thought you might find this interesting:
