Quick & Easy Hexie Quilts

The dynamic design duo of Dr. Peggy Rhodes and Julia C. Wood brings new life to the hot trend of quilting with hexagons-they make hand piecing these little gems fast and fun. Use any size circle to yield the hexies you desire. Then use the authors' Reference Guide to determine yardage, another chart to figure how many you'll need, and two sizes of graph paper to draft your own unique hexie design. Make any of the 12 projects or create your own unique hexie quilt. The most common format for hexagon use is Grandmother's Flower Garden, and the authors explain a bit of history for color use and alternate names and arrangements. This book is a true hexie-lovers' delight.
