Welcome to Day 1 of the Hexie Quilts Blog Hop!
Leave a Comment below to win a signed copy of this book. Drawing is June 10th.
I'm so glad I agreed to review Quick and Easy Hexie Quilts by Dr. Peggy Rhodes and Julia C. Wood because otherwise I might have missed this! Instead I'll be making little hexies this summer, especially when I'm traveling.
Peggy and Julia's method for making little hexies is so simple! No paper, plastic or basting! I appreciate how the authors show you exactly how to make them on pages 9, 10, and 11. They're fun to make and they look so pretty.
Julia even sent me some pre-cut circles and a threaded needle so there was nothing standing in the way of hexie-making! This pretty little duo took only a few minutes to make. Nice points and body too.
(My next ones won't have that tiny dot in the middle. I got carried away making the knot on the back.)
These hexies are 1 5/8" across (flat side to flat side), each made from a 2 1/2" circle. These little pretties truly are quick and easy. I heartily recommend Quick and Easy Hexie Quilts published by AQS.

That's an intriguing way to make a hexagon!
I love hexies because they make beautiful quilts, but also making them is soothing and very portable. If there is a technique available that would simplify the process, then I am for it.

I am intrigued by this circle hexie technique and very keen to read the book. I have made a queen size hexagon quilt by hand that I am just beginning to quilt (by machine!)and hated the paper and basting stitch removal step.
I have been wanting to try making hexies and have been dabbling with fussy cutting fabric. This looks like a fun new way to make them
