A Hexie Conundrum

In the evenings, I have been slowly, very slowly, basting these little hexies I cut from my scrap basket.

There's about a hundred 1/2" hexies there. The big question is what to make with them. Any ideas? Answers on a postcard please.....

 

Oh - and if you'd like to win a little pile of die cut hexies slightly larger than these, also cut from my scrap basket, don't forget to enter my giveaway here - it closes tonight.

    What sort of area do they cover when together like that? I'd love them as a purse/bag. They'd look so great and it's a great excuse to bring them places with you :)

    Tomorrow starts the hexiebloghop over at Sew We Quilt. For sure you will find some great inspiration over there.
    Love your hexies!

    I made little 4 hexie diamonds and they sew together so quick and easy. Love the scrappy look. Some of my friends are making rows of 7 and then forming them into diamonds.

    These are lovely! First thought was a pillow but when I read they are only 1/2'' I would rather say applique on a table runner or a notebook cover.

    I have the same problem, although I think I will use mine as a border for my DWR quilt

    Wonderful hexies! I think they'd make a great cover for an eReader. Enjoy.

    Can't believe I have been so busy in the real world that I missed your bloggoversary and those amazing hexi's you cut. So a belated happy Bloggoversary and I hope whoever wins those hexi's knows what to do with them.
    As for the hexi's you have basted - I don't know. There are some great suggestions here already and I think I might have to head over to Sew we Quilt for the hexibloghop and get inspired too.

    I am going for a wall hanging with granddaughter's initial in it. They are fun to make, hope they will be fun to stitch together...!

    A hexie frame purse - I know you could make a great one Sarah! Or edge a skirt with them along the hemline or make a cute scarf!
