QuiltnNan, That is exactly how I am making my hexies. I found the perfect small carry case for my supplies. The case is about the size of personal Bible and has zippered compartments. One compartment holds my tools, one holds the small squares of fabric, one holds completed hexies and one holds the paper pattern. I just happened to find it at a thrift store and it is one of my wonderful finds!
When I know that I will be waiting somewhere, I pick it up and it goes with me. It never fails but what someone will ask me what I am making. The person always has a story about their grandmother and a quilt.
I print the paper 1" hexies from texasfreckles.com. She is gracious and state that it is okay to use her template for personal use.
Good luck on your venture.
