This really appeals to me. I like your ideas of using up scraps or old clothing and making just a few pieces at a time. I figure if I make a few each time I watch television, I should have enough in a year to make a quilt to cover up!

If you're into fancy stitching by hand, you probably could use a fancy type embroidery stitch to connect the hexagons so that it would be beautiful on both sides but that would involve more time than I'd personally care to put into it although if one is skilled at such stitching, it probably would work out about the same time wise. Enjoy however you approach it.

I have seen them for sale in the Ozarks through the years. Anybody I have talked to who makes them say they are fun to make.

"Life" got in the way and I completely forgot about this topic! Now I'm all enthused again and decided to get started. So I re-read the thread. Did I miss how you assembled the biscuits once you had them made? Did you sew them together in rows? Or is it easier to divide the quilt top into "blocks" (so to speak) and then sew the blocks together?
This is such a good take-along project and not too hot to work on in the summer!
