Default Hexie fun

I was working on my diamond hexie quilt and decided to see how small I could go with hexies. So here is my experiment.

My diamond is made up of hexies that measure 3/4 inch on a side. The next smallest flower is 1/2 inch on a side and the smallest flower is 3/8 inch on a side. Hexagons are measured by the length of one of the sides. I had some 1/4 hexies cut but that was just too small. My fingers were just too big!1

The second picture is of my progress on my diamond hexie quilt. Out of my comfort zone with modern fabrics and black and white path. Enjoy.

Very cute! Bonnie posted pictures on her http://www.quiltville.blogspot.ca of an interesting hexagon quilt top in progress. I really like the cube effect arrangement. Another cool pattern of hexagons was posted on http://www.theinboxjaunt.com/ It was a hydrangea bouquet.

The smallest I ever attempted was 3/4" on a side. YIKES, I prefer working using 1" side. Easier on the fingers. Think I might try at go at the diamond pattern. THANKS for posting
