There are twelve designs in this new book that range in size from 45 1/2" x 33 1/2" to 90"x91". There is also a Market Tote design 17"x17". Projects included pieced hexie quilts, as well as applique'.
There is an excellent section showing a really "Quick and Easy" Hexie technique with uses fabric cut in circles. No paper or plastic templates required!
All of the patterns have well written instructions that are easy to follow, with great visuals.
And the section "To the Rescue!" has the best information on Hexies that I've ever seen. It includes a handry Reference Guide to help you change the size of a project, use a different size circle of fabric, or combine the circle hexies with hexies you may already have. Plus it includes another Reference Guide that shows how many hexies you will need (and fabric) to make a Throw, Twin, Full, Queen or King with circles of 4", 6",8",10", or 14".
As I do enjoy making hexie quilt projects, I found the technique in this book which relies on circles, to be extremely easy, fast and fun.
Following the steps in the book, it was very fast and easy to create a hexie flower which could easily be turned into a quilt, or used as an applique' on top of a quilt, or other project.
Using this technique, the underside does look different than other hexie techniques. There are two layers of fabrics, giving each hexie body that makes it easy to work with.
The hexie techniques in this book also work well with the AccuQuilt GO! Circle die, but can be made using just about any circle size. This book also includes a Reference Guide to determine yardage, another to figure out how many hexies you'll need, and two sizes of graph paper to draft your own unique hexie design.
Click here to see a preview of this new book, published by AQS. I also hope you get a chance to check this book out at your local quilt shop soon. It really is a fun book, with innovative techniques that make it very easy to create hexie projects.

Thanks for the chance to win a book!
This looks like a really neat book. I'd really like to learn a quicker way to make hexies. Thanks for the giveaway.
What could be better than a whole book dedicated to hexis!!
Thanks for a chance to win!
Nice giveaway idea.
The back side of the assembled hexies is kinda cool.
I love that hexagons are small, self-contained pieces that are made and done. I love that hexies can be stored up without a definitive quilt design and are more interesting than just a triangle or square. Hexies are definitely a challenge to my imagination because I don't know how to arrange them.
That's why I need to win the book, and the circle die.
I would love to learn how to make hexies so thanks for the opportunity.
Would love to win this book. Have made many hexies but this method looks easier. Pocketbook is real tight right now so chance to win is appreciated.
