Onto Hexagon #2, with Inklingo!
The 1st hex was easy and....
well, let's admit it, kinda boring.
But wait till you see them all, close-up and personal!
I figured these ones were like little pie pieces.
To make Hexagon #2, you will need:
Hexagon .75 (x 1)
Hexagon the Other Half (x 6)
Triangle .75 (x 6)
Diamond .75 (x 6)

I laid the pieces out and this is what it would look like.
Gilbert saw this and said, "Oh, you're making a Halloween quilt?"
*insert LOUD sound of screeching car brakes, here*
HUH?!??!?
I wanted to use a dark navy with different oranges and yellows, to make my hexagon quilt dramatic. These hexies were too close to my nose, I think. I never realized that YES, these colors did INDEED look like Halloween colors and NO, that's NOT what I wanted to make!
*insert a LOUD and LONG sigh, here*
Soooooo, I took the first hexagon apart as well as the pieces to the 2nd one. I will replace the dark navy pieces with some various WOW (White on White) fabrics.
In French, there's a saying that says that "Not only fools can change their minds."
Also, I had originally wanted to make each hexagon a different orange or yellow. But, since some of Linda's hexagons have TWO colors, with white, I thought, "Why waste perfectly good pieces?"
I got 2 ziplocks and am putting left over pieces in them, according to "size". Figured it would be easier to keep track of them, this way.
*grin*
Also, my printer doesn't take different sized paper. Although, in the meantime, I DID figure out how to use small pieces of fabric, for Inklingo.
You just iron your small piece of fabric to your 8-1/2" X 11" piece of Freezer Paper and you put 'er through your printer!
Easy, eh?
Here's a picture of my 1.50 pieces.
Yesterday evening, I was curious as to how many had visited my blog since I posted on my 1st Hexagon.
Lookee, Lookee!
This is THE most viewers I've ever had!
Oh what a fun adventure this will be!!!
Have a Fantastic Friday, everyone!!!

I am with you all the way. I realize the bee isn't a INKLINGO-able Hexie, that is until you finish the PP, but in the end I printed out a 6" hex on FP to iron onto the finished block to make sewing it together easier, the INKLINGO way.
At least you caught the "Halloween-ness" before you spent the time stitching it up. I think whenever orange is in the mix there's always a chance that you or someone else will think Halloween. thanks for posting a link in Inklingo group messages
I was just looking for the 'like' button, LOL.... Thanks for the tut Rosa :) May just have to go fish out some 30s fabrics and do some printing tomorrow. :))
