Hi, there is a section where you can actually purchase the precut papers of the different shapes. there are free downloads of some of the shapes. I don't like working with the printer paper. it's too flimsey and doesn't hold the corners well. My opinion. Anne

I think it may be for embroidery, but I was just pointing out the layouts. There are so many ways do do hex designs. I really didn't go into the site to see what it was all about!! :oops: lol

I also have been wanting to do one of these. I was in my LQS (which is not so local!) and found a stamp for the hexagon pieces. I got the starter kit which was the ink pad, a one inch hexagon stamp, a one inch diamond stamp, and a booklet. I am hooked. The stamps are available online from the gal who designed them. I don't know the exact web address, but just google Stamps by Kate and it will show up. The starter kit came with a burnt sienna colored ink and I needed a lighter one as well, so I went to JoAnn and bought a white VersaMagic stamp pad with my 40% off coupon. Much cheaper than the 8.95 stamp Kate sells.

Anyway, with this method, you just stamp the back of the fabric, heat set, cut out and then sew along the stamped lines. No pressing around a little paper shape, no basting stitches to put in and then remove. Awesome! And she sells lots of other sizes and shapes for hand piecing. I have been digging through my stash looking for fun colors to stamp! My other projects have been suffering. LOL

The stamping method sounds interesting. Maybe an idea to do for another time. Good luck with your hex quilt! :thumbup:

Hi Guys,

If you have a sizzix they do hexagons in 1 1/2" 2" and
2 1/2" dies.... they cut 4 - 5 shapes a time and you could put through 4 pieces of paper at a time...! Templates in Minutes!!!

Hope this helps.

Hugs

Hi Humbird: That is just beautiful. I have one in progress too. Now I'm really going to dig in & finnish it. I love your border.

Hum, your quilt is gorgeous. I hope mine turns out half as pretty. I will also look into the stamp thing, sounds really interesting. Thanks so much!
