Yep, I'm an addict. Just getting ready to applique my 3rd quilt top to a stright edge border. (Need to have it quilted by next March for a wedding gift) I print my papers from a site on the computer and cut them out. Mine are all 1 inch hexies. So far that is. May make some changes in the future. I make my whole project with hexies. I applique the whole quilt top to a stright edge border. I have done applique on the borders however. I do both take along and and TV/warm fire stitching. For inspiration, see this blog,
