But then when I flipped mine over to photograph it, I remembered just how beautiful I think the back of my hexagons look. And really, not so messy as I had imagined.
In fact, I was discussing the back with my sister just the other day, and she commented that it looked a little like fabric origami. Then, as i recall, she said it would make a great scarf, and we both took a moment to stare off into the distance imagining a fabric origami hexie scarf....My hexagons are made using 1 inch precut paper shapes and 2.5 inch squares of fabric. How do you make your hexies? Are they tidy like Christina's, or fabric origami like mine?

Oh they look gorgeous! I'm surprised at how nice the back looks- perhaps you'll have to leave it unbacked!
The Bug requested an origami crane this morning, but after a few attempts we settled on a paper plane ;)
The backs of my hexagons are all over the place. But I think when using squares that is bound to happen. Yours looks great!
so beautiful - I love hexagons !
Fabric origami for me.
I wonder if it will make a big difference to the bulk once we get to the quilting stage.
Oh well, that might be years away for me!!
Coming tonight?
Andi :-)
Thanks for the compliment Jo! I think yours do look like origami and look really interesting. It will be a shame to cover them up!
We are just using different methods. I am cutting freezer paper to size and ironing it on to the fabric, which is a quarter of an inch wider than the freezer paper. :)
hi, you have nice blog.. u can view also mine..http://akoniwares.blogspot.com
I haven't seen Christina's yet but I GASPED when I saw the back pic! I'm a bit of a texture lover and fabric origami WORKS!
Cool! The back is just as beautiful as the front! You're doing a great job!!
Your Hexie's are Lovely and coming along Very Nicely...
cheers
One inch hexagons are a testament to dedication and persistence. Yours are lovely - back and front.
Looking gorgeous Jo! I love how the back looks too :)
Im doing mine the same way as you, so my back looks similar.
This quilt is looking divine- I love the back as much as the front. Bec x
I'm loving the fact that Hexagons are suddenly COOL.
I put a big post up today about them before I even saw yours!
And it does look awesome on either side by the way.
Oh wow. Hexie porn. SO gorgeous. Next time I hex, I think I'm going to do something like yours (I'm working on a charm quilt and I think it's going to be HORRID).
