I have around 300 hexagons cut out and was going to cut and sew triangles to them to make a quilt and have decided that I am not interested in doing that now, so does anyone have any ideas as to how I can put these to good use. Thanks.

Maybe you could sell them to someone

If you cut your hexagons in half, you can sew them into strips and make any strip quilt pattern with them. You might end up with something really interesting. You could also cut them into their triangle units and make quite a few triangle designs.

How large are the hexies you have? You could use them as a centre and run pieces around them, log cabin style and then join the larger hex blocks you make.

And here's a way to do just that utilizing a variation of the QAYG method:

they are all cut to make a ispy quilt. I want to use them for the same idea, but was hoping to find a way to sew them together without adding the triangles. Thanks

Ah, so you can't cut them in half.

If you sew them together by hand, you wouldn't need the triangles. You could sew it by machine without the triangles but then you would really, really have to love y-seams. ;-)

You could raw edge applique them to squares (just sew around the hex about 1/4' in from the edge with a small stitch), and then just sew the squares together. When washed the raw edges would unravel a bit, but that requires NO matching or y-seams.

(You could cut out the centers from the back of the square to cut down on the weight/bulk of the quilt, but I don't think it would be too heavy).
