Default Hickory nuts?/hexies

Just cruising around this morning and found this tute here on board by Edie demoing this hexie design...I am intrigued....first by how I missed it to begin with, and now how " cute" they are....anyone here doing these by chance.....found the website....am going to look into ordering .......I need more hands and definitely more years!.

Edie, where are you...are you still here...I have your tute on cathedral windows. Thanks for that!

Thanks for the correction...and the proper link.......

Hope others have done this...in the meantime I found another site where the hexies were hand done..another addiction

Thanks for the post. Really interesting concept with doing a border on each hex. I actually bought a set of 1", 2" & 3" and they would work with this pattern.

I was thinking the same thing today...I have GO hexies and there are other sizes at Sizzix...could do same technique using nested hexies.....question: I know the templates called hickory nuts are patented...,but can the design be made using a method other than with those templates?

I can't get to the tute about the Hickory nut that QuiltnNan posted 11/10. Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the link to the tute. I have the small and large set and want to use them for scrappy projects. Am a visual learner and was a little confused by the written instructions. Thanks again.
