I think Bonnie a Hunter and her friend did a joint project last year. Her friend has a book on making pieced hexagons I think her name was Mickey Dupre.

Some intricate piecing there. Be sure to show us the completed quilt.

I just purchased a book this past weekend about pieced hexagons. I bought it not realizing that it was talking about HAND piecing, something at which I am no longer adept.

I looked very carefully, and a)you have a fantastically small hand stitch or b)you machine pieced.

Your hexagons look like the ones in my book however. May I ask, did you actually hand-piece these hexagons?

A total surprise. A very pleasant one I might add. Wonderful blocks and they are going to make a very interesting quilt. I'll be 70 the year after your mom. Just saying............

Maybe you got the book that goes with the pictures I found online... :)

They are all hand-pieced, I don't have a sewing machine.

Well, they are really lovely. I went up to my sewing room and retrieved my recently purchased book entitled "The New Hexagon" written by Katja Marek. You did such a fine job - well that's why I recognized it.

After being pretty disappointed at finding these blocks were all supposed to be hand pieced, I began trying to figure out a way to make them by paper piecing. And I thought of enlarging the pages to use , say, 2 1/2 inch strips.

I looked into the photo copying rights in the front of the book to see if it was ok to enlarge the pages but nothing specific. Then, after digesting your note about finding online I really did feel silly. I guess I'll continue to work on figuring out a way. Anyway, I enjoyed seeing yours.
