I think my favorite shape in quilting must be the hexagon. I know, having a favorite shape is a bit odd, but there you have it. I fit the profile! I thought it might be fun to look back at some of the hexie quilts I have made over the years. I have made so many that I am going to break this up into two posts. Today I am sharing some of the small quilts I have made with hexies.
The hexies in this first one are a mere 1/2 inch across.
These are a bit bigger at one inch. This was hand quilted every 3/8 inch. These fabrics were from the very first Smithsonian collection. Remember that?
Back to the teeny tiny half inchers, this time in vintage fabrics.
This one also has tiny hexies, I copied the center of an antique quilt I used to own.
Liberty of London hexies!
Okay, these are honeycombs, but technically, they are still hexies!
More Liberty hexies.
I know this one is old because I hand pieced it when Daughter #2 was in dance class. She was 4 or 5 at the time.
This one appeared in Quilt Almanac in the late 1990s.
Okay, not a quilt, but a pincushion I made from a quilt shop giveaway kit.
Machine pieced sometime in the last year!
A mug rug.
Whew! That’s a bunch of littles! Next time I will share come of my bigger hexie finishes.
Have a great day!

Those are all beautiful. I can see why the hexagon would be your preference.
Oh my goodness, these are all wonderful. Hugs,
Wow, you are a hexie mad woman! I was never a fan of hexies until recently and now I can’t stop making them. I love ALL of these little treasures.
De très beaux ouvrages. J’aime aussi les hexagones. Ils sont très agréables à travailler.
Katy, all these little quilts are great!! I especially like the ones that have the stars!!
Thanks so much for sharing! Lots of inspiration!!
Love your hexagon quilts. That’s one of my favorite shapes, too. Looking forward to more!
Really wonderful little hexagon pieces…love that first one especially hugs, Julierose
Sweet little pieces of art. I especially like the Liberty of London prints set with the cream triangles.
Katy, you never fail to inspire me! A friend recently brought me three Liberty of London prints, and I’ve been wondering what to do with them. I have a pattern with some hexies. Hmm. You may have given me an idea!
Love all the small hexies! Hard to work with the 1/2″ one and getting them sp perfect.
Love all your little hexi projects.. esp the pin cushion! Looking forward to your bigger projects tomorrow.. or next Thursday 🙂 Kathi
