I have never been interested in hexie quilts and all of a sudden last year I got the bug! I have completed two quilts and now in the process of sewing together a Christmas 1.5" hexie quilt. I baste mine because of the glue coming loose on the hexies. I call it my therapy. Gives my hands something to do when I am sitting in my recliner watching TV. I do have to say that it has drastically affected my reading time though. Apparently I sit around a lot! LOL
