Hexagons are growing

Saffron Craig - Thursday, June 25, 2009
This is where I am at with my paper piecing hexagon quilt. I sit down at night and stitch a several together. Helped by winter nights, good telly tea and oh so much chocolate.
Has any one tried thimble ladies new hexagon piecing technique?
Probably to late for this project as I am well into it. I do like innovation and it sounds like it could be great. I am reading about it in the Australian Quilters companion, one of the many magazines I bought from the Sydney craft show. Well, this is a paper piecing quilt, that will grow and grow and grow. It is 16 rows by 16 rows at the moment. And I thought I would but I am not going crazy, I am rather intrigued by it all.

Hi Saffron,

Just LOVE this hexagon quilt! I too, have never been remotely interested in one but with your fabrics, I am ready! Are you able to tell me how much fabric I would need if I was to make one in a queen size bed and whether your fabrics are still available.

Ta!

I keep coming back to this post, I've never been interested in hexagon quilts before but this one has me fascinated.
I have a fabric buying outing coming up and I think I'll look for some fabric to start one of my own.
Thank you for sharing these pics.

They're curiously addictive, aren't they :) And yours are looking great!

I love the hexagons. I want to make a quilt for my son, but think I will start off with squares for my first! What is the thimble ladies technique for hexagons that you're referring to?!
