My kids figured out that if you fold a piece of paper in quarters, you can punch multiples out at a time. The weight of the paper has worked fine for me. I put my pieces and papers in tiny plastic zipper bags and carry 10 of these in a small kit complete with needle book, bobbin of thread and fold-up scissors. Great for keeping occupied during all the sporting events I watch with my kids.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308387406464994862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87148503745599262502010-10-10T05:13:18.019-04:002010-10-10T05:13:18.019-04:00HI Bonni

It's gorgeous!!!<br /><br />And too funny, as I was reading along I thought "I need to tell Bonnie she can borrow my hexagon punch" before I got to the part where you got one...I got mine from Creative Memories too, back when I was doing scrapbooking. I used it for my hexie medallion (which sadly is in my ufo pile...it only needs to be stitched to it's background fabric and quilted! one day...) <br /><br />Anyway, I punched mine from freezer paper, ironed them to the back of the fabrics in rows spaced 1/2" apart and rotary cut them out.

I've been working on two hexagon projects - a traditional grandmother's flower garden with 1" pieces, and a scrappy lap throw with 2" pieces, begun with 3 charm packs and a lot of other fabrics that are in Fall colors. I love the portability of these projects and right now I'm putting the lap throw together in rows. I'm a good customer of Paper Pieces. I'm getting many uses out of each piece!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127204722965736272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-80231732683997870202010-10-08T11:33:55.883-04:002010-10-08T11:33:55.883-04:00I love that quilt.
