Paper or plastic templates to make them? I have researched and the preference is split, so wondering if anyone here wants to contribute their thoughts before I venture into my first ones.
Thanks in advance and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I just started my first grandmothers garden quilt. I never did hexagons before I am using paper ants find it quite easy to use and can make abunch at a time. But then again I have access toa copy machine.
I am enjoying this process.

How are you sewing the hexagons together? I am working on one that uses the whip stitch. The flowers were made by my husbands grandmother and we are adding the black hexes around each flower. I am joining them on point with green diamonds.[ATTACH=CONFIG]385662[/ATTACH]

MamaW ... I've been using ones I made out of cardstock.
Otherwise, I have no experience.
Dedemac ... continue on with the whip stitch ....What a treasure you have, to have those from your DH DGM!!!

I too am using a whip stitch. I am making my flowers with a red center then yellow. After yellow it will be random colors with green connecting hexies. This is my plan right now. I work on it while watching tv.
what a great project to be able to finish up..

Yes I find this very portable also. I too have reused the paper hexagons and they are very easy to take out. I believe connecting threads has a great Video on how to.
