Ok, call 'em Hexis or call 'em English Paper Piecing,,, but either way what a cute idea..
I spotted this on the internet tonight,,,
I would luv to do this... but... knowing me, it would end up in my UFO pile... lol!
but maybe a small foot stool is something I could tackle... I luv the juxtapo of Hexis and burlap...
and what a great way to use an old tattered Hexi quilt, or any quilt for that matter...

Katmom, that is a really cute project. If you used an Hexe that was approx. 1" to 1.5, I bet you could get that project done in no time!

Carole, knowing my tendency to procrastinate,,, I would have to make Hexi's about 1ft by 1 1/2 ft.... lol!
But I can dream... or find a tattered & worn Hexi quilt and then attempt this project,,, lol!

The eat thing about hexes is you can take them anywhere. Do it while waiting for the kids, the doctors office,just anywhere. My husbands grandmother made a grandmothers flower garden quilt by machine, no less. I hand quilted it and it was beautiful. Now we have an heirloom. It's one of my favorite patterns.

Bonnie, so agree with you about hexes! However, a 1.5 foot long hexes would not be as portable! lol
I so enjoy English Paper Piecing. I worked on this little quilt using 1/2" hexes, addictive! I think it measures 36inx x 24inch (doll size). I have a gazillion hours on that baby. I do like how it turned out, just haven't figured out how I will complete it in terms of border. So yea, it's a UFO!
Presently working on a queen size 1/2 inch hexes. Not sure when that one will be completed but I can dream .... can't I? lol
Cheers!

Carole: what a beautiful quilt you are making. Remember two things. 1. I quilting is hard by the yard but a cinch by the inch. And 2. It's amazing how long it takes to make a quilt you're not working on. You go girl!

OMGeepers! Carole,,, your hexi is fabulous! I would not worry about finishing the edges, but rather have it framed just as it is...
I luv it!!
Bonnie,, you crack me up: "yard-hard,,, inch-cinch'....

Thanks Grace. That's how the pattern had it, framed. But I saw it quilted, it was nice. This was a challenge among my club members to get this quilt done. So far two of us have finished it. Diane, the other club member, quilted hers and it was really sweet. I love small quilts! They make such nice accent pieces here and there around the house ...... or the glamper
