Just wanted you to know I liked it! I also thought someone may be interested!!

This isn't new. I remember being shown how to do this using circles of fabric when I was in grade school. I'm glad the technique has been brought back to life. So many of the hand sewing methods have been lost. My best friend in HS grandmother taught us how to piece hexagons with no paper and stitch them together as we go. No whip stitch needed and no basting the hexes.

Try either You Tube or a general search for hexies or hexi quilts. You will find a lot of free information on line. I have many books and don't know why as I almost always find what I am looking for on line.
