This link is fabulous -- loved it and I am now making something similar ! Love hexies and great for doing at appointments etc !

Aunt Piggylpn, love your scrappy hexies -- especially the one with the sunglasses!

I've been thinking about it for a while, and am finally going to do it. Or at least give it a good try:)

At my guild this week (we meet weekly) I saw the book Patchwork of the Crosses by Lucy Boston. I'm trying those honeycomb hexies. I finally got EQ6 to work n my windows 8 laptop after changing some settings on it, so I have drawn out one for a template. My handwork needs practice, lots of it I can go so far, then tendoonitis in my thumb flares & I have to stop for a few days. I'll get it done eventually.

You are a girl of my heart! Just purchased a pack of 100 1" hexies to get me started. I'm so excited. The thing I like is it is so portable; even easier than hand-piecing on the go. Fabric squares, hexies, a pin, needle and thread and scissors!

i don't remember seeing that one before... it sure is lovely. good luck with yours

The 31 days of hexies from scraps sounds like a good idea ( from the link above). I just might try it.

I too have been addicted to EPP. I am making a project with 1/4 inch hexies (Quilts from Grandmother's Flower Garden) and the Sewline Glue pen is great for basting these. I also have a project going for a bedrunner from Sue Daley's book New English Paper Piecing called Rings of Friendship and the glue pen is great for hurrying up the process of basting these pieces.
