I making one right now that has 6,000 hexagons.
I bought cardstock from Sam's club. Mine is made up with all kinds of fabric designs and colors I keep looking for more so I can have a scrappy looking quilt. |
I use index cards, over and over.

When I get ready to baste my hexes to fabric I cut stripes of fabric and then cut squares together. This is a great to go project. I can sew a couple of flowers while sitting in car rider line. 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.
