I did mine in English paper piecing.
I bought alot of papers from one of the online firms that sell EPP supplies. I used each hexagon 5-6 times before it was totally worn out.

Oh, I love the flexible, ironable ones from Brandy's too. Lots in the package, reusable. I have them in every size, have made four quilts. www.brandysquiltpatterns.com
Prices are very reasonable, shipping is quick

I printed my own on card stock and a laser printer, that way I got the exact size I wanted and as many as I could possible need as my gfg got bigger. If you go to this web site you can set the exact size you want for a hex and it gives you a PDF file to download onto your computer to print as many hexes as you want.

I use the freezer paper ones and stack about six pieces of freezer paper together and staple in the middle of each hex and cut them out. Can use the papers over and over. If you're making a lot of flowers you need a lot of those purchased items as you leave the last round in the flower until you sew them all together. Have made LOTS of GFG's and they've all turned out great using this method.

Use card stock & print in a printer. Works very well. I now have one almost a king size. It is so easy to do this. I purchased a package of 100 pre-cut just to make sure my hexies were straight. I posted my GFG on here last week if you would like to look at it.
The time spent cutting the card stock is done when I have to takle my Mothger to doc & in eve when I need down time. Very relaxing Enjoy whatever method you do, but do it by hand, much more satisfying. You don't have to rush to get this done. I am going to hand quilt mine also. Good Luck

Hi! I finished several months ago a queen size GFG. Took me over 8 years but I didn't work on it all the time. I used freezer paper (for quilters not on the roll)I had 2 acyrlic templates, one for rotary cutting the fabric, and one (1/4" less) for the freezer paper. I am now working on a small wall hanging and have ordered the precut papers. I find I can only reuse them about 4 times (others will say more) To me it's an OK method, but I like the freezer paper method better (no slip, etc) but I only have the acrylics in one size. But years ago they used newspaper, cereal boxes, whatever they had available and they turned out beautiful. Good luck!!! A great take with you project.

I made my first GFG using the plastic tops of yoghurt and similar cans. I have done many hexagon quilts since then and since doing the uneven border is my least favorite, I have gone to framed hexies<see http://www.kiwiquilts.co.nz/Free+Patterns.html>
I find I can cut the large and small hexagons and felt batting hexagons easily enough and after I make all the hexagons, it is simple to seam them together<ladder stitch if I want it invisible, and I can do the seaming on my sewing machine if I am pressed for a birthday.> Doing them all the same size allows me to use them as "building blocks" for other projects such as the hexagon jacket I just made. It is very bright and colorful and I get stopped often for people to ask about it. Hope you find what works for you!

I use freezer paper but I guess I use it differently. I lay the dull side of the freezer paper hex on the fabric hex squares, which are cut 1/4" larger on all sides, then I turn the seam allowance over the edge to the shiny side and iron it down, so it is 'stuck' only on the seam allowance. (Clear as mud so far?) I have used the same ones for several quilts now. They are easy to take out as well.
