Inspiration - by Karen Meyer - Sister Of The Divide  Quilt created using the One Block Wonder Stack Method, all hexagons created from one fabric.  Kaffe Fassett Cloisonne Black.


Three of the One Block Wonder books written by Maxine Rosenthal, I highly recommend these if you are interested in this method of quilting.  Once you learn her secrets you will be off and running!  Easy technique and she breaks it all down for you.  


Inspiration: Years ago, this quilt, "Candied Hexagons" by Kerry Dear was featured in Issue #18 of Australian Quilter's Companion Magazine.


Inklingo has a great little video, about 5 minutes long that has some great hexi inspiration and lots of quick tricks using their product.
