Good Grief, those are small! You have more patience than I will ever have. Beautiful work, though!

Too small for me! It will look fantastic though! Can't wait to see it.

Tartan, found it. It looks like EPP could be used but the pattern is for regular paper piecing. Looks like a challenge though!!

I just love your mini hexi flowers! Unfortunately I don't think I could go that small.

Wow! I admire you for trying those. Imagine just how many it would take to even make a place mat. Might be neat just as an accent piece . I think I will stick with the regular size ones and at the rate I am going, I will be 90 before I have the top done!

Good work. I love the Field of diamonds pattern too, but mine are much bigger, therefore, less trouble.

I made some rosettes with 1.5 inch sides and actually the 3/4 inch ones are easier to handle. I can wrap the hexies, stitch them together and sew on the "path" within 30-40 minutes if no interruptions. Here is the first hexie quilt I made, I just appliqued them to a background block.
