One of my Quilter’s Emergency Kit boxes contains hexagons. Well, a lot of hexagons. I printed thousands of the Inklingo .50″ hexagons thinking I’d do the Insanity quilt. I decided against it and have been playing around with ideas since then. So far I’ve made a few of the hexagon diamonds and some flowers.

I’ve also started putting together these little 4-hexagon units. This will be a long-term project but an idea is slowly coming together in my mind that will utilize the hexagon diamonds, flowers and the 4-hexagon units.

These are some of the cut and uncut hexagons for the project. I love being able to just pick them up and stitch whenever I need a hexagon fix. No basting, no whip stitching, just lots of running stitches. As they are rather small hexagons, it takes no time to have a seam done.
Monday was a very grey day here. Lester snoozed.

Smudge awake. In the background, you can just see Lester sleeping on the couch.


The hexagons look wonderful on the white quilted quilt! Just applique them and you’re ready…LOL!I love making hexagons for the same reason. I’m still thinking of making a rainbow hexagon quilt. I need at least another thousand hex’s though!

While I wouldn’t dare make anything this small. I love seeing them. And there is something about hexagons against a white background that is so pretty.
