Welcome to the Quick & Easy Hexie Quilts Blog Hop :)
You may be thinking....quick and easy....where have I heard that before? It is true, I'm here to tell you.....it is possible to turn a circle into a hexagon and you won't have to use a paper template. How do I know?
I have recently reviewed a copy of Dr. Peggy Rhodes and Julia Wood's new book, Quick & Easy Hexie Quilts and I've made my own hexagons (shown above on top of the book). These hexies are much larger than the hexagons I've been making for the past 8 years. Mine are approximately 3/4" across and I've been using paper to stabilize my work. I have to say, I really have enjoyed making the larger hexagons without paper using Dr. Rhodes and Julia Wood's method.
The "Florabunda Table Topper" is one of my favorite patterns from Quick & Easy Hexie Quilts. Will ya just look at all those beautiful colors......they are beautiful! Light, dark, print, dots, stripe, solid or floral....all of them make incredibly beautiful Hexie Quilts.
