Several Bloggers have asked about my hexagons.
I am flattered that you guys enjoy seeing them
because sometimes I feel like I will never
finish this project!
For those of you that have asked,
here are the templates that I use:

And "YES" I did order 600 pieces!
It seems like a lot, but in the end I will wind up
using all of them.
On my last update I had used 427 hexagons.
There are so many awesome tutorial out there
about hexagons.
Here are some of my favorites:
So this is my hexagon tip:
Use your punch holder to make a hole in
the center of each paper piece.
This really helps out when you are trying to remove the
paper piece.
Simply slide a pencil or the end of your scissors
into the hole.
Lift to remove the paper piece.
This paper piece is now ready for re-use on another hexagon.
I hope that this helps out!
Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting!
