This is a little project that I have going on right now. I started a few months ago and I only work on it in dribs and drabs, whenever I have a little time. It's coming along nicely and now measures around 20" square.
I recently pulled out all the paper shapes in preparation for turning it into a cushion but now I am not so sure on that idea. I kind of fancy doing a off-centred hexagon block in the middle of a quilt sashed in a pale coloured solid but I can't make my mind up if that is the best plan.
We shall see...
Oh I like the quilt idea!

I have my own paper piecing project in progress and it's kind of the same deal, I work on it hear and there. Yours is very cute, I like the off center idea.

I love these! I just started making hexies last month and have really come to love the look of them. Can't wait to see what you make with them!

Please make the hexie, off-centered quilt...then, of course, share with us!!! I have not felt brave enough to attempt hexes, but I'm feeling encouraged.

what size are your hexes?
Posted by: Nettie | 01/18/2013 at 04:37 PM
Isn't it sweet! The texture once it's quilted will be an awesome cushion.

Aneela,
I just love hexes! You've inspired me. I bought the cutest fabric with all kinds of doggies. Just the right size to fussy cut. I shall send a pic when I finish a few.

Oh I really like the quilt idea - I've seen some like that and I think they look terrifically effective. Hexies are everywhere, I must have a go. Can you make hexies and watch TV??

I like the quilt idea, but you could also do something similar for a floor pillow :) a compromise!

So pretty! It looks difficult, I'm still a beginning quilter.
Do you have your own personal tutorial?

Hi Nettie,
The hexagons are 3" wide (each side edge measures 1 1/2").

They are very lovely fabrics. Thought you might like to see a quilt I gave as a birthday present today.
