There are different ways to do GFG. Try them all to see what works for you. I do EPP. Quilting my 3rd quilt now. I do enjoy hand work, so EPP works well for me. I have not tried doing them on the machine, but some people have very good results with that method. Then there is the QAYG method that someone on this board did a great tute for it. Just not my thing. I have seen tutes where they do half hexies and sew them in rows. Looks quick, but I don't care for the seam down the center of the hexie. I print my hexies on scrap paper from a computer site, and cut them out with paper scissors'. Mindless work while watching TV etc. Just a word of warning. Hexies are addicting. Hope you enjoy!
