Here is a link to my project page of my blog
http://stiffchick.blogspot.com/p/projects.html
I haven't touched this one in a while, but it's always right next to me incase I get the urge to work on it. I guess I put it off because this one is mine and I like to work on stuff for others.
All my flowers are done and ready to be sewn together in a quilt. I print my own templates on card stock and cut them out.

Completely addicted to hexies
Hexies are my go-to portable project whenever I walk out the door and know I will be sitting and waiting for something. Even if I don't have a specific project in mind, I have a small sewing case ready with all the essentials to just pick up and go. My largest (king-size, first pic below) project used 1½" hexies and is reversible. The smallest used ¼" hexagons (second pic) and is a design by Jaynette Huff. I bought her book for this quilt alone. My preference is to EPP with freezer paper, and my favorite size hexie is ¾" and I have made tons of projects with this size. I especially like to make table runners with this method, like the scrappy one below, that uses tons of reds and greens (third pic, my own design).

I love your work Ajpadilla, was about to say 'specially the table runner and then I had another look and could honestly not pick one over the other. They are all stunning. I have been looking, looking, looking at the Jaynette Huff book and will probably send for it soon.

Sew nice ajpadilla! I have a started an itsy project with 1/4" but put on the back burner for now. I did take my hexi bag along while waiting for jury selection. What a great conversation starter! Had 2 quilters introduce themselves and check out what I was doing and a couple of non quilters came to watch.

Isn't it interesting how non-quilters are attracted to watch? So much fun and a great way to start conversations.
I really did enjoy working with 1/4" hexies - but then, I just love any kind of miniature. The biggest "challenge" (not really) was pulling out the paper. Found the easiest way was to stick a straight pin through the center back to catch the paper and pull it out. Would love to see your mini project when finished!
