H exagons always catch my eye.

Hexagons are my favorite shape...if a person has a favorite shape. It seems I see hexie shapes used in most commercial buildings, in logos, on labels throughout the grocery store aisles. Hexies are part of our lives so why not use this predominant shape in quilting also? This book is the best quilt book for explaining angles and measuring of angles in hexies available today. I recommend this book to be on every quilters table.

lots of dimensions for all the hexagons and derivative shapes to go with them.
