It's very easy to cut hexies with a regular ruler, especially the big ones. I cut 6" strips, then used the 60° line on my ruler to cut a diamond, then cut the points off using the 60° line. I experimented by drawing lines on paper of different width strips to see if I would like the finished size, might do another in the future with 4" strips...

I think I'm going to send them back and get smaller ones. I agree that with the large size a ruler would be best.
The company couldn't be more accommodating.
Great to do business with.

Have you seen this quilt? They use 3", then cut within the hex for different shapes. Beautiful quilts. http://www.katjasquiltshoppe.com/the...uilt-along.htm She has a couple different quilt alongs. Go to top part of page and check them out.

Somewhere I found hexie quilts embroidered & embellished like crazy patches - so gorgeous. This size would be great for those. There is one or two on my list for 'one day'

I am 75 years old. When I started my hexies last year I made them 3". Probably not going to be around to hand sew a queen size before I leave this good old world. I only work on my hexies "on the road", so that will take a lot longer to finish. I still need 400 white.

I use 1 inch hexie papers. I print the paper hexies, and cut them myself. Good mindless work while listening to TY. I may try the larger hexies one day. Do like Faintly's beautiful quilt.

very pretty!!!!

For anyone with an accuquilt they now make a 1" per side hexie die. It cuts the fabric AND the papers 1/4" smaller. I died and went to heaven. My first hexie quilt. The papers are perfectly shaped and along with glue basting saved a lot of time. My alternate method would be to buy papers. Worth every penny.

Faintly that is awesome!

I agree. I have started Rhonda Pearce's Insanity Quilt which is 10,340 half inch hexies - would not have even considered it without the AccuQuilt die. I have used magazine inserts for the papers.
