    :-D :-D :-D I didn't follow a pattern. However there is one as I saw it on ebay and it had templates. Later after supper, I will find the link to it and post it here so you can have a look at it or make a purchase. It'll be later as I'm eating right now. Have a great evening, Huggies, Fay

    Ok, I'm confused. A hexagon has six sides, like a Grandmother's flower garden. Am I not seeing something?

    I love all of those shades, nice selections for perfect perspectives. I had to laugh - paraphrasing - "Didn't need a pattern, saw one,figured it out, just used a hex template that I already have.....". If only it were so easy for me. I can see a few hexes, but not many. Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

    Yes,, sew two sides together and you get a whole one. It is hard to see all 6 sides of one hexi. Huggies, Fay

    :lol: :lol: :lol: I agree it is a little funny the way I said it tho. I'm usually pretty good about looking at a picture of some thing and can make the item, but not if it looks too complicateed. All I did was look at the one on ebay and then zoom in on the picture of the package and then figured it out that way. I have a hexi so what I did was trace the template and then cut it in half and then added the 1/4 seam allowance to the long edge as the rest of the edges already have the 1/4 seam allowance. It is 3 shades of colors., So you sew two halves as two colors and then do the same thing on the next one so you will have a cluster of 3 hexis sewn together using the y seam. I just laid out my half hexis in the way I liked them and then sew them together and then sewed the 3 hexis together. Again this sounds so funny, but the 3 hexis sewn together almost look like a clover. These are just scraps of fabrics. I picked out what goes with what colors the best and then went to town on it. After I'm done eating, I'm going to make more hexis and sew some together tonight. I think this will be a lap size. Have a great rest of the evening, Huggies, Fay
