Hexie papers- Huge! Any ideas?
Hi everyone, I ordered some hexi papers from Paper Pieces after seeing some lovely quilts on the board.
I ordered 2.5 inches and they are huge!
I now realize that measurement is of the corners, not the diameter.
I don't know what to do with these things. I'm so mad at myself!!
Any ideas? They don't look like they will be very pretty

I recently finished a hexie quilt and the sides measure 3.5". I didn't use papers though, just cut with my regular ruler and hand pieced. It was fun and the giant hexies are kind of cool . It's twin sized.

How many did you order? I really love the quilt Faintly Artistic made. What size did you really want. I have bought from Paper Pieces they are very reasonable and want to keep their customers coming back. You could at least send them an e-mail and ask if you don't want to call.

Nice people to do business with, for sure.
Not sure what I'll do. I love Faintly Artistic's quilt !!

I think you should keep the size you have. Since you've not done hexies before this would be a good size to begin with......remember, you can fussy cut some at that size and make some cool design features. Btw did you also order the acrylic template for that size papers...if not, when you do,order the one with the 3/8" seam allowance rather than 1/4".....easier to work with.imho.....and don't forget the glue stick rather than basting those papers!

Lovely quilt. I'm starting a new hexie project. You start with one in the middle as if for a Grandmother's Flower Garden flowerand keep adding rings around and around. I hope that makes sense. A friend of mine has started one and I love how it looks.
