I am doing one using 3/4" hexagons. I purchased my hexagons from this website: www.paperpieces.com.

Have a question for you Hexagon lovers!!! What size do you normally use?

I am using 1 inch hex's, but have the utmost respect to those doing smaller ones! I might try a few smaller hex "flowers" to applique on the border of the guilt I am making now. But I have to tell you, when I look at the 3/4 inch, they sure do look little!

:lol: :lol: I was just trying to visualize this size!! OMG!! Since I've never done one of this, is this the finished size I hope?

Yep, finished. I did see a mini quilt on some site sometime ago, and it had a dime laying next to the hex. The dime was bigger than the hex!!! Amazing!

Oh my Lord!!!

I think the size of a hexagon is determined by the length of one of the sides. "paperpieces.com" is a good place to look for sizes and ideas.

Thanks ladies for all your advice...I'm leaning towards doing something alittle different....guess I'll just look at all the links you suggested! Its hard to do on my old computer at home, but here at my daughters (if the little ones permitt) its easier!
