So I'm missing a "in front of the telly" project and I've settled on making a charm quilt using 1" hexagons (charm quilt means I need to use different fabrics on ALL hexagons). I've not done the math yet but I think I will need more than 1000 hexies from what I've read about it. I bought my first 200 paper hexagons at the sewing festival and I started cutting fabric from my scraps yesterday. I'm thinking that I will do a totally random quilt, but I've not decided yet.

Anyone else that has made one of these? The inspiration for mine was a flickr-group I found (probably through Pinterest). Here is the post about the sew along (it's old but many haven't finished theirs yet):

Anyone else want to give it a go? We could have a hexagon quilt along of our own (I'm really new to quilt alongs so I have no idea if there already is one that I can't find etc).

Oh and another thing, I bought some kind of glue pen to glue the fabric to the hexies instead of sew basting them (it's specifically made for that kind of use). I've been worrying that
a) the glue will be hard to sew through (I don't trust that it won't gum up my needle).
b) it will be a lot of work pulling out the paper hexies and that the fabric might fray.
c) the glue will damage or dry up over time - I will probably be working on this quilt for a loooong time and as I want it to ber really random I will probably sew the hexagons I have into rows and only add them up later, which means I won't be taking out the paper hexies anytime soon.

Any input? Thank you!!
