Our Quilt Club’s August program included a presentation and
workshop led by Mickey Depre, author of Pieced Hexies. She is a great teacher: very relaxed and entertaining. I still feel like I’m all thumbs making
these, so it’s a good thing these are large hexagons (1 ½ inches per side); and
the jury is still out as to whether I will enjoy making them enough to complete a
whole project with them. For the time
being I’m between applique projects. So this will stand in as my
handwork project, especially on Sundays when I try to devote some sewing time away from the machine and cutting table.
I’m late doing so, but
I’m linking into Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching post.

These look great. I'm trying to figure out how you did them. Do you cut the hexies out of already pieced fabric?
The possibilities are endless with this method. Yours look great!
Love the look of the pieced hexies but have my plate full with the old fashioned one piece hexis. I am making them into a diamond shape. I figure I am only going to make one of these quilts...might as well make the design that I want!
Wow - those are gorgeous. I'm wondering how you did that with the different fabrics....
I love the fabrics you are using in your hexies. Enjoy your stitching.
My guild is bringing in Mickey Depre next year for our quilting workshop weekend. I love hexies so it'll be interesting to work with pieced hexies for a change. Yours look fabulous which makes me look forward to that weekend all the more.
