Your seam allowances are small and you can make them much bigger if it does help you. As long as you lay out your hexagons so you don't loose sight of how you want to arrange them, it should not matter whether you sew them in rows or in 'flowers'. The way that works best for you is right. <br /><br />Hugs ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474834631427613805.post-23680413312343239152009-07-01T22:19:22.115-07:002009-07-01T22:19:22.115-07:00thanks for the comments, ladies!
Kaaren, i just ...thanks for the comments, ladies! <br /><br />Kaaren, i just don't think i have the stomach to go back and cut out freezer paper! my ideal solution would be to buy the paper templates that are available--but it's too expensive for my frugal (i.e. cheap) self. <br /><br />Janet--i'm intrigued by your method. if i ever make another of these quilts (and i really love the quilt that Quiltsalott has on her banner), i might try your way.dokiquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882889465477918606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474834631427613805.post-35598669166882423742009-07-01T19:57:58.086-07:002009-07-01T19:57:58.086-07:00I've made a Grandmother's Garden and anoth...I've made a Grandmother's Garden and another hand pieced hexagon quilt recently and I didn't used the traditional technique. I marked a dot in each corner on the 1/4 intersection and seamed from point to point with a running stitch. It works for me. I find it less work.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535613151538197041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474834631427613805.post-46644120260070346812009-07-01T04:12:09.919-07:002009-07-01T04:12:09.919-07:00I don't think the size matters.

I'm using freezer paper in mine and I'm finding it really easy to piece and manipulate.<br /><br />It's too late now for you to change from card stock to freezer paper as that would ultimately change the sizes of the hexies. <br />Just a suggestion but why don't yu try piecing two together with freezer paper to see it you like it. If you do, then you'll have to make the GIANT decision to disassemble and start all over again.<br /><br />Big decision!Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378359214056797658noreply@blogger.com
