I wasn't thinking of applique.... I meant the one where you baste the fabric round a paper template, then whipstitch the seam by hand, like hexagons are done.
I'm going to save the applique for the little diamonds and melons Jane was so fond of! LOL[/quote]
Blue, I think that is considered English Paper Piecing. Not all of us are familiar with it. Hexagons can be machine pieced and Patrice did a nice tutorial on it a while back.
