You could check out directions on line for Grandmother's Garden Quilt. It's one of my favorite quilt patterns and on my bucket list. I have bought plastic hexagon templates to make my hexagons with using reproduction 20's and 30's fabrics. To use the plastic templates, you draw around them adding a 1/4 inch seam (I have bought pencils that are 1/4 inch apart in a plastic holder from Keepsake Quilting just for this). You run basting stitch around the piece, pull it in over the plastic template and iron. Voila you have your hexagon. I am planning to hand sew them together with a whip stitch and use it as a take along project. I hope this gives you some ideas. I am sure others will have more ideas too! Have some fun with it!
