Hand Stitched Folded Hexie Flowers
These are made from folded circles, no papers, no templates.
I learned this technique from my friend Cindy at the The Quilt & Needle
These hexes are not as precise as the perfect EPP ones that I so admire, but they are much easier on my hands in which I have some arthritis. I thought others who are looking for an alternative to the EPP ones, might be interested.
On the Quilt & Needle Forum we had a wonderful Hexagon Quilt-a-long.
There are other posts on the Q&N Blog showing these and other hexies like this post here from Dorian ... Summer Quilts
Someday I hope to have enough of these for a quilt!
Every time I lay these out on a table, Butterfly finds them.
Naptime!
Butterfly wants this quilt for herself.

I think Butterfly has the right idea. These are wonderful and I'm glad Butterfly has claimed them! lol
hi....I don't use papers either in my method of making hexes....I cut out hexes first then just turn under 1/4 inch...they are pretty precise....I just finished 2 grandmothers flower garden quilts....you can see pictures at Quilt Stitching Blog if you like...now I am working with just the center and the first round like you are
Love all those hexies.. and Butterfly is soooo adorable!!
