I had so many questions about my hexagon quilt that I showed Monday, that I decided to do a quick tutorial to answer them. First , here are the dies I used. I know, they look like they don't go together, but they do. The hexagons have 2 1/2" FINISHED sides. The triangles do too…

It's nice to have a small project to do while on vacation, or even just sitting outside enjoying the weather. This little hexie pincushion is a fun little project. I first saw it on facebook and fell in love with it. This pattern is part of the Sew Over The Rainbow quilt along hosted by Victoriana Quilt Designs. You can check it out on her Facebook Page. The FREE pattern can be found HERE.... Benita, Thank you for the great pattern, it's adorable when finished and you can never have too many pincushions. It would also make a cute little gift for one of your quilting buddies. So here is my spin on her awesome pattern.... I printed up the pattern and traced out the hexie just as it printed up. You could make this cute little project with just about any size hexie. Using the hexie template I cut out several foundation papers out of a paper bag. It's a great way to recycle an old paper bag! Cut fabric a 1/4" or so bigger than the hexie shape.... Wrap your fabric around and pin using sequin pins. (They are tiny) My hexies are all ready to piece together. I am using three different fabrics from the 'Gallery in Red' fabric line from Marcus Brothers. Sewing using tiny little stitches.... right sides together. Here's the layout to form the pincushion. Here I am sewing the 'sides' of the pincushion... remember to remove pins and hexie papers when all sides are 'sewn'. Continue to sew until you have all the sides sewn up, except for one. Remove the last of the pins and paper and then turn right side out. Then use stuffing or leftover batting and stuff. Finish sewing the last seam. Remember to use tiny little blind stitches. I think it's adorable with an added button! I hope you enjoy this cute little project. Remember this cute little hexie project from last year? My tutorial for this project can be found HERE. Happy Quilting!

Online Quilting Guild - Stunning hexie layout - I love making EPP hexies. It's mindless work for when I want to occupy my hands but don't want to think about what I'm doing. They are a great portable project for on the road work. But, honestly, I get kinda bored with the standard layouts I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah .. seen that, seen that, seen that. BUT THEN .. this layout just showed up on my FB feed. It's *stunning*. Absolutely amazingly incredible. I think to get the color distribution right, you'd almost need to have a design wall and put the hexies up as you make them or graph it all out before you even start. Either way, I really, really, really love this layout.

Pictures - Hexie WIP - I have been working on this for a couple years whenever I need a hand project. It is my first EPP project. I started out making the small flower units for a different project. The project decided not to happen, and this one insisted on happening. I have decided I LOVE EPP, and I am already
