I am overwhelmed by the beautiful work turning up here, simply gorgeous. And so many beginners too. Looks like EPP is alive and thriving LOL.

Thank you Oksewglad. I've got enough hexies for 6 flowers now, so will try and sew them together tomorrow. I appreciate the encouragement.

Also, I found an earlier comment by Jakers1 about using a couple of paperclips to hold the fabric and paper together helpful.

The photos are so lovely. I'm learning alot.

I've been having a little play with one of my current hexi projects to-day and thought I'd share my progress with you. This will be a twisted star pattern when its finished but what it will finally be, I have no idaa. May applique it onto something.

You're very welcome, sewplease.:)
That's what's so great about the hexi project--you can start or stop when you want, QuiltnMyra. Then you can move onto another project--another hexi one perhaps! BTW--beautiful colors in this one!

QuiltingMyra, what ever that is when you finish will be beautiful, love it so far. What size hexies are you using.

Had to share something I saw yesterday while surfing the net - just beautiful ! http://gritslife1.blogspot.com/2013/...a-passion.html

Thank you for the kind words ladies. The hexies are half inch Gram. I love that site Kindle, have it bookmarked and use it for inspiration a lot, in fact the one I'm working on now (above) is a steal from a link on Grit's Life. I think its called Manuela's Garden and the link is Marianne. What do you think of La Passion? Sensational, or what !!!

My mom hand pieced and handquilted this one for me...I love it...I miss her more every day...[ATTACH=CONFIG]446279[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]446277[/ATTACH] it is about 23 years old.. love all her scraps she used...

All of these hexie quilts are so pretty. I am wanting to learn to make one. I have never made a single hexie before. The papers that they are basted around, when are the papers taken out?

June, there are a variety of basting techniques from glue, basting without going through the papers and basting through the papers. Personally I take the papers out once all the sides have been sewn to another hexagon, others leave them in - I found the best thing I did was to spend some time surfing the net for tutorials and forums like this for ideas (don't forget youtube as a source).
