Half Hexagons....
How do you baste a half hexie for a GFG quilt? Are the little corners suppose to be tucked in, or are you just suppose to clip them after they're sewn to the rest of the quilt? I have searched EVERYWHERE and can't find any instructions, pictures or guidance for this process. Thanks once again for any help anyone can give.

I have never seen a half hexagon used as a full one would be. half hex's are usually for ease of sewing rows and a short cut from getting by without doing Y seams. Just look up GFG and you should find something. look in Tutorials here too.
|
I'm going to use the half hexies to finish off the top and bottom edges so that it's straight.
|
Thanks for asking this question, I am not quite there yet but will be needing to know how to make half hexies soon so am hoping someone has the answer.

Personally I always trim the rabbit ear to keep the seam straight and as flat as possible. Don't know if it is right but on a triangle you trim the ears so why not an a hexagon. Don't go lower the
An 1/4" . |

I just stumbled on this site when searching for other block ideas, I hope you find this helpful! |
after sewing them all in, you would trim any little "ears" off.
|
Thanks ladies.... I know you'd have the answer I was looking for!
