Dear TFQ and Little Bluebell<\/a>,
\nThis is all your fault.

\nNow that I have that out of the way, yes, I seem to be hooked on hexagons. The test piece is much larger. If you want to cut hexagons, like I am doing, check out Little Bluebell’s cutting directions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am also interested in the Spin Wheel design by Fons & Porter. I was watching, what I thought was a Kaleidoscope episode and it turned out to be the Spin Wheel episode. I took notes again so I could do a test block.<\/p>\n

I went looking for examples people have made and only found a few. I found a tutorial<\/a>, which is good since I don’t have the magazine. BeckyF also did the pattern in fun colors<\/a>, which I found on Flickr. There is one<\/a> on Webshots that is done more in the colors the Fons & Porter ladies like. I like this progression\/gallery of photos<\/a> making the Spin Wheel. Also, the blue and yellow are cheerful.<\/p>\n

This has nothing to do with the Spin Wheel, but Daniel Rouse has put up a really cool hexagon<\/a> quilt on his site. I like the small and large.<\/p>\n

I am also starting a scrap project using the Twirling Triangles<\/a> pattern, which is, ultimately, a hexagon.<\/p>\n

Oh, of course, FOTY 2011, too. Yes, I have a thing going. Obsessed is probably a better word.<\/p>\n

Check out Sandy’s site. She is thinking about hexagons<\/a>, too. And Pam over at Hip to Be a Square podcast<\/a>. These two are totally my fault. How can I not want to spread the joy of something fun?<\/p>\n
