My Pinterest is full of fussy cut hexagons at the moment. I have been wanting to try fussy cutting along a striped fabric instead of just getting a motif onto the hexagon. Isn't this pretty fabric.
I have a collection of acrylic templates that are kind of odd sizes. This one is about 1 1/4", but not quiet. It seemed to be a size that would work well. I auditioned a few. Then I cut my hexies out of freezer paper. I positioned the freezer paper on the same motif for all six pieces.
Basted and stitched them together. Both of these hexagons are made from the same striped fabric, but with a very different result depending on where you decide to position your paper.
Give it a try! I promise it is lots of fun!
i too love to fussy cut hexies - yours turned out great. Nice tutorial!
