I am not a fan of Grandmothers Flower Garden, which is what most people call the hexagon if it looks like a flower shape. Love the medallion look. Love to do hand work this might be a good traveling project.<br />http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/album.php?aid=2084&id=100000193773612Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922051522442269976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-7399493354734970622010-03-12T10:41:10.943-06:002010-03-12T10:41:10.943-06:00And don't you wish the comment box had spell c...And don't you wish the comment box had spell check?Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-39547634478019119052010-03-12T10:40:32.755-06:002010-03-12T10:40:32.755-06:00I like Methusalean as an adjective, however, Nyla,...I like Methusalean as an adjective, however, Nyla, as in my high school friends are aging in Methusalean fashion.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-28994746788944846142010-03-11T21:28:52.897-06:002010-03-11T21:28:52.897-06:00It is amazing all the designs made with hexagons. ...It is amazing all the designs made with hexagons. <br />Maybe I will try a mini one first.<br /><br />DebbieWoolenSailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621977477193550261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-55866324847484422322010-03-11T18:57:04.847-06:002010-03-11T18:57:04.847-06:00Well, it's always better to check definitions ...Well, it's always better to check definitions before you post.

Perhaps your reference to Malthusian in a numeric sense came from Noah's grandfather, Methuselah who lived to be 969 years old. The oldest man we are told of in scripture.

(not a standard size)That got really tired really fast and I moved over to 3/4" pieces and started from scratch. Life is too short to cut my own hexagon templates. I'm still working on my GFG, I'm on the home stretch. Thanks for sharing these photo's.

One tip to follow if piecing hexagons is to press as your go.

More accurate than cutting out along a drawn or printed line. We used this method to make papers for a community project with more than 100 people working on the rosettes (Grandmother's Flower Garden layout) and it went together just fine and very flat (once pressed). Hexagons are quicker to do than most people imagine, aren't they?Susan Briscoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478005503421741631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-348637959294848922010-03-11T08:29:04.513-06:002010-03-11T08:29:04.513-06:00Everyone called me crazy when I made this quilt! h...Everyone called me crazy when I made this quilt! http://flic.kr/p/6fjn9U You can see the whole progression in my flickr stream.
