Hexi's

I am putting together a kit of fabrics so that I can make hexi's while recovering from hip surgery.
I am going through my fabric stash and pulling smaller pieces.  The ones below were made from a strip that was a little larger than 2 1/2 inches.  My hexi's are 1 inch along each side.


These are good because I won't need to be at a cutting table or ironing board.  I also won't have to sit up to a sewing machine since I make them by hand.  The above ones are basted but not sewn together yet as I am not sure how I want to put it together.  If I make enough I will do a Grandmother's flower garden quilt.  If not, I will use them as applique flowers on another quilt.

I used plastic reusable forms to get the shape.
