Someone mentioned earlier that it is hard to remove the paper hexagon. I use a one-hole punch on all of my paper hexagons. When removing, I just use the tweezers against the hole punched in the paper and remove it very easily.

You start with a CIRCLE ! ! Yes, circles. The book has been out for less than a year and is a wonderful book. Very well written and hundreds of pictures showing how to make them without a PATTERN ! ! !

I love making hexies - so relaxing. I make my own hexies and like CGail, I also punch a hole in the middle then remove them with a crochet hook. Easy! I have lots of flowers made but haven't decided exactly what my quilt design will be, but I hope it turns out nice.

Beautiful quilts ladies

I'm doing a hexi the way my mother taught me. I cut a template out of plastic, and draw my seam lines lightly. I put a darker dot on each corner.

I love making the hexagons. It is so relaxing. I am working on GFG and just need to put a final border of hexagons on top. It will be my first hand pieced quilt and I hope to hand quilt it also.
