….. there has been a sudden outbreak of ‘hexagon-itis’ in our house. So far, I am the only member of the household affected. The only cure (apparently) is to ‘make stuff’ – I’m gonna make something cute-sy with this little lot and see if I can ease the symptoms …. I’ll keep you posted *cough* …
You’ve inspired me to try hexagons, you make such beautiful things. I’ve got a small little stack of them made, with more on the way!
Hexagons are such a joy to make. Have fun creating them Jeanne! x
I have just found this post. I know it was a few years ago but I was wondering if you had finished your project. I have a stack of about 90 “flowers” with more to come. I am still trying to work out what to do with them. Once I have, I then have to somehow back them!
I also have been suffering this affliction of late hehe 🙂
It is highly contagious Ruth 🙂 x
These are cute! though I’ve never made any. Love your material color and pattern choices.
Thank you JoAnn! 🙂
Oh my goodness I think it is going around….a global epidemic! So much so, I see hexagons in windows, crackers, everywhere!! The only cure?? More charm packs!!
Thank you so much for sharing along with me on Miss Paula in Stitches! The more the merrier I say!!
Thank you for visiting my blog Miss Paula (love that name!) Have a look at this link when you get a minute – now this lady REALLY likes to work with hexagons! Natalie x http://gumvalleypatchwork.typepad.com/my_weblog/my-dear-prudence-hexagon-quilt.html
Oh I suffered from that when I started my quilting journey, five years later I had a double bed size quilt for my mum and a small quilt for my God-daughter… I hope I don’t catch it again, it just made me feel guilty for not working on it all the time.
I do like the colours you’ve used though, theya re pretty.
You better keep a low profile Jules if you don’t to be bitten by the bug again – hexies are everywhere! 🙂 Natalie x
Loving the fabrics! Laura x
Thank you Laura! x
Your hexagons are beautiful Natalie………I’m sure I wouldn’t be looking for a cure either with results as lovely as yours. x
Thank you Kim x
Lovely pretty fabrics and gorgeous colours Natalie!
Hope you have a lovely stitchy weekend in the sunshine,
Susan x
Thank you Susan – happy weekending to you too! 🙂 x
If you find the cure please let us know. I love the colours you’re using. Nice and girly looking. Well done.
To be honest, Lucie, I’m having way too much fun to worry about a cure 😉 I do wonder, though, how many hexies is considered hexi-mania? Now that’s a worry … 🙂 x
so cute!
Thank you Louise! These wee hexies are just 1/2″ each side so they are like little pennies – I could play with them all day! x
well this has definitely given me some inspiration for the cushions I’m about to make! I made a hexagonal patchwork knitting bag myself a while ago (http://bit.ly/137gHXY) and it took absolutely ages to hand stitch but looked amazing once finished. Definitely worth persevering with!
Your knitting bag is just lovely, Louise, and such pretty fabrics. I’m looking forward to seeing your cushions! Natalie x
Oh goodness, this brings back memories, think I still have some of these floating around somewhere LOL I just know you’re going to make something really lovely, can’t wait to see what.:)
You are so encouraging Kathleen, thank you! I shall try to make something lovely and hope you will pop back to see it. 🙂 x
And you have been such an inspiration for me, thanks for that. I love seeing what you do, you make it all seem so effortless, keep it up LOL
Thank you Kathleen 🙂 Have a lovely weekend xx
Glad you’re working through it, pretty fabrics!
Thank you Mandy 🙂
Bad news – hexagon-itis is chronic condition for which there is no cure. All you can do is treat the symptoms with hexagons and lots of them! I know this because I’ve been ‘suffering’ with the same condition myself!
Oh dear Karen…. chronic, you say? Well, I have taken your advice and I’ve been making a mountain of hexagons today and guess what? … I’m feeling better already! I think this is one affliction I can learn to live with 😉 x
beautiful…beautiful….
Thank you Maria x
