Comment by Pat B/UK yesterday: I used to buy mine from Paper Pieces - I use the 1" ones - but then I bought a Sissix machine and the hexagon die and now I cut my own and for some friends.

Comment by Amanda Best yesterday: I thought of cutting my own templates, but I knew I would never stick with it so I bought the large size bag from paper pieces!

Comment by Vilma/AR yesterday: Amanda, I was thinking of doing 3/4" hexie for this project I am doing now. But I chicken out and choose 1" hexie. I am cutting my paper template with Fiskar template cutter. My GF told me about it and I got one. Now I can make as many as I want. I saved the paper templates from the last project and re-cut them.

Comment by Amanda Best on Wednesday: I am making the 3/4 inch hexagons in the traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern. I have not made progress on it in so long, maybe someday!

Marge, your quilt is absolutely stunning!!!

Comment by Patricia4 on Tuesday: Thank you Tanyel!

Comment by Tanyel B on Tuesday: The measurement is usually based upon one side of the hexie.

Comment by Patricia4 on Tuesday: Newbie question. When you say 1" hexies - does that mean 1" across one side? Or top to bottom - or point to point - where is the 1" measurement?

Comment by Cat Lady--MO on Monday: Marge, I just saw where Bonnie Hunter posted a copy of your quilt on her Facebook page.

Comment by Janet/MO on Monday: Welcome Annette.

Vilma, I'm making 1" hexies too. I figure this might be a way to finally use up some of my scraps that are taking up way too much room.

Marge, you must have been seeing hexies in your sleep to make a queen sized out of 1/2" ones. Whew, that is a lot of hexies!

Comment by Vilma/AR on Monday: I worked on my 1" hexies while on the road last week. I have a long way to go on my project.

Janet, what size is your hexies? If it is 1" , I could use some. :)

Welcome, Annette. Post some of your projects.
