I have been having fun tonight using the Christmas Candies to make 1/2” hexies! I can get four hexies from a square.

though I love making hexies, I've only made them that small once for the splendid sampler quilt and vowed if I ever did them that small again it would be for someone special. Do you hand cut your hexies or do you by the forms. Very impressive!

Thank you! I’ve been enjoying these candies and love that I can get four out of a square!

Thank you! No hand cutting the tiny ones. I do have a die cutter for one inch but haven’t tried it yet! What about you? Do you hand cut the papers?

Teeny tiny hexies, Logcabin! Good job.

WMUteach -- your mailbox is full.

What do you all do when your box is full? Can you archive and keep them safe or do you delete?

Good question. I am trying to figure this out because I have way more than the allowed messages every year. Searching the site for help.

Log cabin, I cut mine with a hand die and use manilla folders. Wow 1/2 inch. I believe that's what I used in the sampler.

had the 2 little grands for 3 day weekend. Lord I'm getting old, they wore this granny out.

and yes I got my last Xmas candies Friday.
