There is a faster and easier way to make hexagons, there is a new book out called: Quick & Easy Hexie Quilts by Dr. Peggy G. Rhodes and Julia C Wood. AQS Publishing . This method starts with CIRCLES ! ! ! You might want to Google it and check it out. You might be surprized. You can also combine their method with your paper pieced one and make them work together.
I love this method!! After reading the book, I quickly adopted this method and I am really pleased with how it is going!! So easy! Particularly using my accuquilt 3 in circle die to gut out circles!!
