I too love hexies! Started when I did the BOM on Craftsy for 2012. Amy Gibson made it fun and now I have lots. Like someone else said, I cut my papers out of about anything on my Go cutter. Such a great take along project.

Hexies - oh yeah. Started to do some while I sat with my sick father. So the Hospice ladies will get lap quilts when I get them done. Reminds me, I should work on them because I only have a couple weeks before we travel down to AZ again. I am doing really scrappy ones, kind of like a Grandmothers Flower Garden, but not. I photocopied the hexies and then cut them out. Now I'm reusing the papers as I want something to do on the road as we travel. Has been a good project for my scraps also.

Since you asked, yes I am also addicted to hexies. I have a GFG that I started years (?) ago. All 1930's prints and I got bored with it. In 2008 I started one using mostly 1800's reproduction fabrics and my own design, the hexagons are 1". Finished it last month. If I knew how to link to the board post I would. it is titled "My Hexagon Masterpiece" you can go there for the particulars on it. Here is a picture. I have also done small wall quilts with 1/2" hexagons. Gonna try something different after the holiday sewing is done. :)

Kathyd, your quilt is beautiful. Truly a work of art. Would you mind sharing how you did the binding/border?
