I am a member of a local BOM. This month we are doing a Grandmothers' flower garden block. I am doing mine by machine. Got through round 1 just fine. I am lost on what to do in round 2. Nothing I am doing is working. I am starting to hate Hexagons. I would love a step by step Tutorial. It is a 45 minute drive to the quilt shop where I am about to show up with my fabric and machine and ask for help. I have faith that one of you will set me in the right direction and save me that trip into Albuquerque.

I found a tutorial for English Paper Piecing hexagons.

How big are the hexagons?
If they are two inches or larger, you could probably do it by machine.
But I do think this is one case where hand sewing might be easier in the long run.
By the way, there are some great tutorials on Y-seams around.
