You can still do hexagons with no set in seams. If you look here:

Each row is half of a hexigon: one with the wide end faceing down, and the piece next to it with the half hexi facing wide end up, like a "boat" shape. You can make the hexis solid or with paper piece designs in the center. These whip out very fast on the sewing machine. Give it a try.
