The easiest way to make hexagons is to start with a circle. A friend of mine wrote a book a few years ago by AQS all about making them out of circles. The name of the book is: Quick and Easy Hexie Quilts by Dr. Peggy G. Rhodes and Julia C. Wood. It has step by step color pictures of this method and the history of the hexagons being made this way. I think you will love this way of making hexagons. An easy project to carry with you any where. Look it up, I think you will make you happy . And it is truly easy ! !
