I am working on the hexagon quilt -along today and these hexagons are tough to layout!
I really want a quilt that looks modern and simple. I would kinda like it to be a giant hexagon. But I don't think I have made enough blocks. I am playing with all kinds of ideas ...but it is tricky...at least for me. I have tried a few things...
Low-tech (Thank to my kiddos pattern blocks)
Finally...
My-tech ( graph paper)
If any of you are like me you will love this source for free printable graph paper. They have so many cool papers I dare you to go there ,take a look, and not want to design a new quilt. Sharpen your colored pencils people. It is Awesome!
Hay, thanks for posting about the graph paper! I did not realise that you could get free online graph paper in circles, dimonds, and other shapes. This is a great help for me. I am going to use the dimond pattern today for a quilt I am making. It sure beats a blank piece of paper and a ruler!
