Hexies
 

I've recently become enchanted with hexies, the variety of things that can be made with them is nearly endless. Who's with me on this?

Your post made me smile this morning. I am with you, I even treated myself to a creative grids hexagon ruler a couple of weeks ago. I rarely buy template/rulers. My interest in hexagons surprised me as my only quilt interest to this point has been civil war reproduction fabric and antique style quilt patterns. Now I have been buying brighter solids and some livelier prints for a couple of modern, hexagon quilts.

Me!!! I started this hand pieced scrappy Hexie quilt back in October! We were moving out of state and had to pack up my sewing room. It is made out of 1" hexies and there are no duplicates in it. I'm about 1/4 way done. We have since moved and I haven't done any quilting on the sewing machine yet!!!

Auntpiggylpn, pretty colors. Hand piecing, I can appreciate that (I hand piece).

I'm with you. I have been eying them for the last week and can't decide yet if this is something i want to try or not. I think eventually i will but not sure when. I am just finally at the point where i am less afraid of half square triangles. Don't think i am ready for Y seems.

I tend to prefer straight lines and blocks in design but hexies are geometric with movement. Very appealing.

i sat with a gal at bee yesterday afternoon and we had an extensive discussion on them. i'd love to start a carry around project to sew at the odd waiting times. this gal used a glue stick to 'baste' the fabric on her papers.

I'm going to start Moda Bake Shops pattern called Hexagon Park soon. I can't wait :)

I'm with you on this. I do EPP. Mostly 1 inch hexies. Currently quilting #3, and planning #4 in my head.

I love Hexies. I have been working on this quilt since 2007. It is the quilt I take onlong on trips so I have some hand work. Now I want to get it finished but have a bunch of other things to do first.

After you EPP them, do you hand quilt them or machine quilt them? What quilting design do you do? I am unsure how to quilt my scrappy EPP quilt. . .
