I guess I've always used a path, so have never thought about how they go together without one. <br />I got the lovely needle book in the mail yesterday. I love it and it is beautiful!! Thanks so much. I plan to do a post on it later this week.

Ive picked up so much from your posts thank you so much. I chuckled no end at the template stuck on the glue stick as you place another down, I did this myself the other day totally inadvertantly and thought afterwards, it might shave a bit of time off if you had multiples on the go.<br />I feel like some of your common sense is unconsciously getting thru to me lol<br />And the other thing I waste time doing is cutting fabric diagonally round the hexi template shape where you slice just corners off octogon ally ish. That must make the basting round process that bit easier at the corners too.........youd think hexis were so easy but theres a real knack to making them right!<br /><br />liniecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643986273499722414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-20951784129141004912014-02-25T19:34:15.204-08:002014-02-25T19:34:15.204-08:00I am not clear on the hexies for the path-are they...I am not clear on the hexies for the path-are they a different size then? or just sewn together differentlykathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-49047952793243822352014-02-25T19:01:52.396-08:002014-02-25T19:01:52.396-08:00Karen,

I use double layered freezer paper for my shapes and people often ask if they can use glue as you have. I am curious if the iron would damage the glue and fabric...Missie of Traditional Primitives https://www.blogger.com/profile/14923563966121643365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-28350443959766757002014-02-25T14:08:57.702-08:002014-02-25T14:08:57.702-08:00you are a lucky woman, lots of new items you are a lucky woman, lots of new items Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18299853924145594346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-53490689400223666612014-02-25T13:47:23.620-08:002014-02-25T13:47:23.620-08:00I prefer a path with my hexies ...

I cut 2 1/2" squares from 2 1/2" strips like you, but I trim the excess after they're basted. Since I do most of my basting in the car, I like having a little extra margin for error. ;-)Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-44308433160369231002014-02-25T07:28:04.751-08:002014-02-25T07:28:04.751-08:00I've not seen how a hexagon quilt is created s...I've not seen how a hexagon quilt is created so thank you for sharing this.
