I used the freezer paper and loved this method. First I tried graph paper then scanning and trying to print on freezer paper that I had cut to size, but the freezer paper jammed in the printer so I went back to tracing around a template. I even used freezer paper from the meat dept. This worked really great. I love making my little hexes & then making them into the diamonds because you can do this while watching TV. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN EASY WAY OR KNOW THE CORRECT WAY TO SEW THESE DIAMOND TOGETHER? i WOULD REALLY APPRECIATED SOME HELP!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988970489162944173.post-744562455956482242010-01-26T12:07:34.039-06:002010-01-26T12:07:34.039-06:00I would love to try a hexagon quilt one day in the...I would love to try a hexagon quilt one day in the far, far future when I have the time.

It is soooo much easier than cutting out all those paper templates. They are a plastic template that can be reused over and over and over again. No going back and having to remove the basting. If the price is to high you can always make them out of margarine lids, cool whip lid, etc. I used my hubbies drill to make the center hole. I have been working on my flower garden for about a year now, I wish you much luck in yours. If I have any advice it is to make sure you really, really love the fabric you are using, because you are going to be looking at it ALOT!Cindy from Its a Sew Sew Day...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01154585386996430492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988970489162944173.post-29559003393050801002010-01-25T13:18:32.339-06:002010-01-25T13:18:32.339-06:00If you want the shapes to be a little stiffer, iro...If you want the shapes to be a little stiffer, iron two sheets of freezer paper together before cutting them out.
