I am currently working on a 1/2 inch hex projuct. Good luck on yours.

Lovequilten, Sending you sympathy in the loss of your spouse. I make my little templates out of plastic. Use oleo tub lids, milk carton sides, etc. Anything that has a flat surface. I punch a small hole on the center with a hole punch. Then I use my pointed dowel to pop them out when I get a section sewn together. I admire anyone who makes a GFG. I just hope I can get mine finished while I can still sew.
