I made my GFG quilt with 1 inch hexies punched out with a paper punch I got from JoAnn's. It was thread basted and hand stitched. I did it sitting in front of the TV. I finally have it sandwiched and basted, ready for hand quilting this winter. It is too warm for me to sit with a quilt on my lap in the summer. I used cardstock and could get 20 hexies per sheet. Most of them are still reusable so may make another but with random colors instead of "flowers".
