Lots of Hexies!

I am hooked on hexies!

I stitched a few while watching the Olymics and ran out of papers.

I made 100 of the cute little things and I couldn't find EPP papers in my area.

I posted a picture of my pretty stack of Hexies on Instagram and a fellow quilter came to the rescue. 

 (I love the online quilting community they are amazingly generous and friendly!)

She told me about this tool.

Fiskars X-Large Hexagon Squeeze Punch

It makes perfect 1 inch hexies!  

I found my punch at my local craft store in the scrapbook section.

I even used a coupon!

Woohoo!

This size is great for using precuts.

All you need is a 2 1/2inch square!

That means you can get:

1 hexie per candy square

4 hexies per charm square

16 hexies per layer cake square

17 hexies per jelly roll strip

This little tool is just too good not to share.

Happy Stitching!
