A "hexie" is a small six-sided piece. (Hexigon) Put seven of them together and you have a flower. Usually they are in many colors. Look in your favorite quilt store at their white-on-whites. They all have them.
When I am working with fabrics on which it is very hard to see right side from wrong, I turn the fabric wrong side up (my choice as to which side is wrong side). Then I take a pencil and very lightly make long open waves a few inches apart on that side. After the pieces are cut, almost all of them will have a little bit of the pencil mark on the wrong side and easy to see. But they are not able to be seen on the right side. (And yes, I have put one in with the pencil mark on top.)
Try it. Works for me!
