The Great Hexagon Quilt-Along Group

I just got accepted in the Great Hexagon Quilt-Along. Robyn is the originator of the group, and as she said, "It is like a big, online quilting bee." We are all making hexagons, and I will be starting with them. If you want to see what everyone is doing, go to the group site:

I am really looking forward to making the hexagons again. Here is a really cool pictorial tutorial on English Paper Piecing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunshinescreations/418177276/ .

Also, please take not of this tutorial that I found at:

This is the best tutorial ever on English Paper Piecing.

If you want to make hexagons or try other shapes using the English Paper Piecing Method, then supplies are readily available at Paper Pieces which can be seen at: http://www.paperpieces.com/ I just ordered a 1200 bulk pack of hexagons for a great price and got a book called Grandmother's Flower Garden, but they also have several other books and videos to get one started on English Paper Piecing. Next time I order, I will get the half hexagons and get myself another book.

Well, I will keep you up on this project, and post some pics.
I can see myself doing this by the fire as I am watching tv.....Perfect! That is I will be doing that in addition to my knitting. But since it is so portable, I can really take it anywhere. This is going to be loads of fun!
