I could see some of the flower shaped ones as applique on something so you don't have to mess with the different sizes not matching up.

You must make somthing with the hexies as they are part of crafting history, and the time it must have taken to produce them. Take your time and I am sure you will come up with an idea.<br /><br />luv<br />irene<br />xxxxIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558233757499142388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825855267979347556.post-33482281628846393542014-03-18T14:20:12.518+00:002014-03-18T14:20:12.518+00:00Thanks for your reply Elisabeth... yes I have to d...Thanks for your reply Elisabeth... yes I have to do something with them even if they are difficult to sew (due to the varying lengths of the edges).
