I basted my first hexie near the end of May last year. I am using 1" hexies and am finally nearing completion. I also love the portablility of the hand pieced EPP which is how I did mine. With a seven year old boy and a four year old girl I am constantly running off to somewhere and I love that I can take with me while I wait for this class or that one to end. I printed off a template from the net onto cardstock and cut out my hexies. I am calling mine "Not Your Grandmother's Flower Garden". I even took basted hexies to Jamaica with me last spring and completed 12 flowers while sitting poolside.
Here's a picture although in order to get it a small enough file, the true colours don't show perfectly. The centre of each flower is black with next "circle" of six hexies a pastel and the next "circle" of hexies the same colour but a bright and the pathway is the same black as the centre of each flower.
