My first finished hex project! I loved the hand sewing on this. It's really not as hard as it looks either. There are lots of good tutorials. I used this one. The author even links you to a cool tool that allows you to download and print hex templates in a variety of sizes!
I paired my hexes with a nice linen-look cotton in a neutral color. I interfaced my front to protect the hex seams and prevent any distortion. The back is a simple envelope closure. The pillow is 12x16, and it available in my etsy shop. I really want to keep this one, but these super gorgeous colors and fabrics don't match any of my decor :(.

I love it. I am definitely going to check out that tutorial. Awesome job!
Lovely! I definitely have hexagons on my list of things to try but I have no idea when I'll get around to them. Your pillow shouts to me, "Sooner, rather than later!"
This is awesome. I so admire people who make hexagon stuff, it just looks impossible to someone as sloppy and impatient as I am. I love the fabrics you chose, too!
Beautiful!
One of these days I'm going to try hexagons. I'm getting an ever increasing list.
I found your blog through flickr. This is really pretty!
This is beautiful! Love the colors. I've been wanting to try my hand at hexagons, & your pillow might just be the inspiration I've been needing to push me over the edge! :)
