Hexie patterns?
I am a hexie newbie....my vision is challenging right now-hopefully surgery in August to help-and I had to give up embroidery and applique for the time being. But I need a handwork project. Stumbled across some hexie quilt pix, and gave it a try. I can make 1" hexis-have not tried smaller ones yet. Where can I find free online patterns for these? I have a small stash of kaffe fabrics that I would like use for this....I am afraid to just wing it!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I do paper piecing and I use this site. Choose the size hexie you want and print them. http://www.printablepaper.net/category/hexagon_graph

I haven't found any patterns (I tend to wing it) but I found a website that allowed me to print out some hexagon graph paper (I just googled "hexagon quilt planner") which allowed me to create the pattern I wanted to make with the fabrics I had available :-)

Have you done an advance search on this site?? Recently, there have been a lot of interesting modern design to be made out of hexs on this site. I also prefer using the 1" hex. Good Luck with your surgery in August.

I used the hex paper and drew a U.S. Flag. I have 294 1/2" hexes in it. Draw anything you want. I want to start a diamond now and do that in the car as I travel. A Grandmother's Flower Garden is one that is very popular. Best of luck to you.

Thanks everyone....yes, Sandy, I am looking for quilt layouts....the hexie blog is a lot of fun! Thank you for the link. I think I have found my inspiration....will just start making the flowers and see where I end up!

My current preferred size is half inch. Which is what I will be working on while traveling this summer.
I need to start quilting my 1 inch hexie, full-size quilt.
Lots of ideas besides the typical GFG!
The medalion quilt is 1 inch hexies and the quilt of diamonds is half inch hexies
