Default Paper Piecing Find

Found a bag of vintage fabrics at a Wichita flea market Sunday and discovered the long-ago quilter had cut out a bunch of shapes including hexagons. Someone had sent me a sample pack of hexie papers from paperpieces.com and they exactly fit. Then I went on the website and realized there were several fabrics cut in shapes to fit their papers, diamonds, chrysanthemum, etc. These are not repros, but old stuff, maybe 30's and up. Since I am visiting DD, I looked around for heavy paper and ended up using a paper sack from flour which was just the right weight for making more pieces. Cut a bunch, washed and ironed the fabric and am having so much fun! Of course doing lots of fun stuff with grand kids, but nice to have handwork for quiet moments. When I get home I'll have to order more precuts, as this is additive!
