Sewbizgirl., great idea and I like the sashing fabric you will using too. I love these candies, when I'm watching tv I am either making 1 inch hex's with them, or I"m sewing the same color family of hex's together. One day it will be a quilt, but I think at that size I might need like 2000 or so. It's just something to do with my fingers while I sit.
