Playing with bigger Hexies

The previous hexie projects I've worked on used 3/4" finished hexies. But I just bought a Moda Candy mini charm pack (2.5" pre-cuts) in Marmalade . . . and immediately decided they would be perfect as hexies.

So I printed off paper foundations for some larger hexies. These finish about 2" and I'm stitching them together to use for a spring project I have in mind. 

And I've decided that the smaller ones are actually easier to handle. But then again maybe it is my arthritic hands!

Hexie experiment

OK - I admit to yielding to temptation again and making more hexies. It is Cindy's fault. But they are such fun!!

I had some very small scraps of fabric that I was about to dump into the trash on Sunday evening as I cleaned up my cutting area. Then I changed my mind - and these are the result. I saw this layout on a blog recently and just had try it out.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with them yet, but it was a relaxing way to break up the monotony of sewing on binding while watching TV the last couple of evenings.
