Hi--I just registered on the board but I've been lurking for a couple of months. I have done very little quilting in the past. I used to do a lot of machine sewing but stopped about 5 years ago to switch to paper crafting.

I thought I was "safe" going with a friend to a quilt show but darn if it didn't tempt me to buy a hexagon kit, LOL!

I have been making hexes like crazy and made a Halloween centerpiece for my cousin--all by hand! I'm attaching some pics of the WIP--I will have to search for the pics of the final product that I gave her!

My next project I am working on are more hexes to make a Queen size quilt! That should last me quite awhile (If I ever finish it, haha!)

Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here. I love hexagons too. They are addicting.

Hi and welcome from Napa Valley Calif! Love the hexagons. I have the plastic template things but haven't spent any time with them. Saw the paper ones last year at Pacific International Quilt Show. I get inspired but so far too many other projects going on. One of these days... Can't wait to see how yours turns out. Keep going.

Welcome from Northern California.

I am making hexagons, too, only I haven't sewn many hex's into a circle yet. I just have a plastic see-through shoe box full of just the hex's I've sewn together. Can't seem to make up my mind what pattern I want to make, or how big, or what colors. But, at least it uses up my scraps and keeps my fingers busy while I am watching TV at night.

I'm working on a hexi quilt also, called Grandmother's Flower Garden. I'm trying to mine as a quilt as you go. Welcome to this great board.

Good to hear from you. I've been sewing double 30, but only quilting for 16 and now it is my favorite thing to do. There are several of us on here from Orange Co. I'm sort of new here too.
