I agree that it us immensely satisfying. I also cut my own paper hexagons from waste heavy paper. I hope I can keep going with this for a bit, it is very slow going but I would love to have enough make a hexagon flower quilt. I may have to invest in ready cut papers and possibly even a glue pen if I'm ever to achieve my goal!

I really love choosing fabrics, cutting them, sorting the pieces, laying them out in patterns - it's just so much fun and so peaceful and happy-making for me.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-4291481230529038082015-11-05T14:25:41.116+00:002015-11-05T14:25:41.116+00:00Those stars are beautiful!

I dread the cutting of the material, but have been reading more about paper piecing and am wondering if that method would work better for me. The fabric glue pen sounds very helpful.

It is waxy, you draw round the papers, fold over the fabric, then it dries and the papers lift out - truly brilliant.<br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668713514058875484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-7086246610516273592015-11-04T11:14:21.685+00:002015-11-04T11:14:21.685+00:00For me the joy is mostly gathering the fabric.

But yours is coming together beautifully. Love those colours. How do you get the papers off if they are glued? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590212324752526648noreply@blogger.com
