I didn&#8217;t want to sew one hexagon on at a time and I had a row started, so I finished the row and worked on sewing the whole row on at a time. It was a lot of stopping and starting, but I just did it. I developed a system and kept at it.<\/p>\n<p>Things I have to figure out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How big to make it. It seems small now, but I know that if I fill my design wall it makes a pretty big quilt.<\/li>\n<li>Whether to unsew a section where I sewed two of the same fabrics together.<\/li>\n<li>How to finish the border &#8211; to square it off or leave it jaggedy. I am not sure I can face all those mitered binding corners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u00a0 plan to just work on it until I am done with the top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hexagon Related Posts<\/strong>:<br \/>\nLittle Bluebell\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.littlebluebell.com\/2011\/02\/on-design-wall-hexagon-crush.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cutting Instructions<\/a><br \/>\nMay 21, 2011 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/hooked-on-hexagons\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hooked on Hexagons<\/a><br \/>\nJune 1, 2011 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/hexagons-follow-up\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hexagons Follow-up<\/a><br \/>\nJune 7, 2011 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/attack-of-the-hexies\/\" target=\"_blank\">Attack of the Hexies<\/a><br \/>\nJune 9, 2011 \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/hexagons-tutorial-preparing-to-sew\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hexagons tutorial<\/a><br \/>\nOctober 20, 2011- <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/hexagon-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hexagons Return<\/a><br \/>\nNovember 13, 2012- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fromthebluechair.com\/2012\/11\/how-to-piece-hexagons-part-1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Chair Blog Hexagon Sewing tutorial<\/a><br \/>\nJune 28, 2013- <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/hexagon-clarification\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hexagon Clarification<\/a><\/p>\n<p>September 5, 2013 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/hexies-return\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hexies Return<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For months I didn&#8217;t work on the Hexies project, then on the first I just dove in and added rows.
