Hickory Nut Hexagons!!

Mary Ann Karpinsky showed us her hexagon quilt she made using Hickory Hill's Hickory Nut templates!!  We immediately realized we needed some Hickory Nuts in the shop!!

Hickory Nuts are templates you use a back piece, a piece of batting, and a top piece to make individual finished hexagons that you use as mug rugs or sew to other hexagons to make bigger things! It is a quilt-as-you-go process that you can take and do anywhere!!  
Here's a photo of a couple of the templates and some that Nancy Harmon is working on.  The back comes around to the front and frames your front piece!  She uses the little Clover clips to hold it for easier sewing!  

Kathryn Butterworth is busy making her's out of Kaffe Fassett fabrics!
