I'm using the English paper piecing on one that I have started helps pass the time when setting in Doctors office when I have to take my husband or setting at home watching tv at night. You can buy the hexagons online and they are reusable. I have done several flowers and waiting to get enough done before I sew them together, will wait til I get ready to sandwich it before I remove the paper

The hexis I use of made of card stock...I have read where some are using the blow-ins that fall out of magazines too. I reuse them until they are too soft (I fold mine as I stitch hexis together as the piece gets larger). The web site is www.ciaspalette.com. I print several copies and MikeyB and I sit together and cut them out =D
This morning I finished sewing on the third border. I took a pic with the proud owner, but she was making the weirdest face...said it was too heavy LOL =D

I have learned along the way and can keep learning. Soon I will be hand quilting it...will be looking for the board to help guide me through that =D
