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.

Here are the authors with Alex Anderson at Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon. Left to right: Peggy, Alex, and Julia. Alex invited Peggy and Julia to be on The Quilt Show soon. Cool!

I've seen hexies but they seem too challenging. Maybe this method would be the one for me to get back to quilting and using up all my scraps. Linda

How clever to send you the "ingredients" for a couple of hexies.
I'd like to learn the quick and easy way!
Love hexies! Something that can be done anywhere and even if you just have a moment of creative time.
I never liked hexies until I bought some at a quilt show. Two boxes of hexies already prepared with the papers on the backs. Done by an elderly woman that had hundreds of them done and part of the quilt put together. Now I love them and would love to do them without paper.
I have never worked with hexies, but the method shown here and the projects may change me into a hexie fan. Thanks for the chance to win.
That does look like an easier method. I've avoided hexies up till now, because they seemed too fiddly. I might just try this!
This looks fun. Can't wait to try
it. Always looking for something to do while traveling for work.
Interesting method to make a hexagon; looks like some nice quilt hexi patterns.
What an interesting way to make hexies. Have been making them with paper so far. This book sounds full of good information. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to win a book of hexie patterns! Thanks for the chance.
The reason I have never tried paper piecing is because I did not want to go the extra step of pulling the paper out! I would love to try this method!
