Please let us know when and where this gets posted if you do it. I'd love to see how to sew them together and remove the paper, and just finish it overall. I am in the process of making my first quilt for my wedding-- just a basic patchwork--but I am making little quilted signs for the backs of our Mr and Mrs chairs, and these will be hexagons. <3 <3 <3 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473428269886970702.post-25722567423883567902010-11-08T15:20:21.521-06:002010-11-08T15:20:21.521-06:00I've never made hexagons before ... are you pu...I've never made hexagons before ... are you putting your stitches through the paper as well as the fabric?

I enjoyed playing with iMove way too much. ;-)<br /><br />@ Clair & venus - I don't know if you'll come back here looking for an answer, but you will leave the paper in the hexagon until you have attached it (sewn) on all six sides to it's adjoining hexagons. Once it's attached on all six sides, you can remove the basting stitches and the paper will come right out. I'd be glad to do a part 2 & 3, etc. Keep watching!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623163005593009850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473428269886970702.post-88779007510324657782010-04-17T20:34:13.247-05:002010-04-17T20:34:13.247-05:00I have 5 hexies done!!

My 13 year old daughter spent some time printing and cutting out the templates for me and then doing the same for the 2.5 inch fabric squares. Now I am sewing them up! She made enough for 40 different ones and really enjoyed it.andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704561096769688286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473428269886970702.post-57324175548747218952010-04-17T20:19:24.262-05:002010-04-17T20:19:24.262-05:00how fun!!
