[QUOTE=Geri B;7622850]Great idea...do you have instructions somewhere? If so I missed, can you redirect?[/QUOTE I would have done a picture tutorial but I figured it would get deleted by moderator. Basically I made 10 hexagon mug rugs and pinned them together until I liked how they looked. I settled on using 9 and am using the extra for a mug rug.

My finished side measurement is 3-1/2 inches but I hand drew my hexagons. A hexagon ruler for cutting would have made it a lot easier.[ATTACH=CONFIG]555658[/ATTACH]

Very clever...did you use a batting filler or in-r-form at all?

I would have used my Hobbs fusible quilt batt but since I was out, I cut my striped fabric hexagon and used a washable glue stick to glue it to a regular thin cotton batt. I ironed it dry and then rotary cut the batt to the hexagon size. I pieced the 1 inch red border on after that like a regular hexagon border. I did not put any batt under the 1 inch strip because I figured it would turn better and the edges didn't need the bulk. I then layered right sides together with the backing fabric and stitched around the edge leaving a small opening on one straight edge for turning.

I have seen so many of this, but I like yours because the ends are not pointed. The colors are perfect too.
