I've been making a GFG with hex's for the past 10+ years. It's my travel project and it have over 4,000 hex's in it, hence the loooong timeframe. I enjoy working on it. I made all my hex's using the Ardco template mentioned above.
I drew the cutting line of the actual finished size on freezer paper, cut on the lines then ironed it to the wrong side of the fabric. Next I cut a 1/4" seam around each and then basted the pieces together. I baste into the paper, but I was able to remove the paper and use it again. I'm in the process of putting all the big blocks together and then will have to decide if I will hand or machine quilt.
Here are a couple photos of the quilt blocks:
