Ready to start making hexagons?  Here's a smattering of the best how to make hexagon resources on the web.

Video Tutorial

I'll dub Melanie of Texas Freckles the "Hexagon Queen."  Her 1000+ hexagon quilt in progress is going to be smashing and her tutorial is my absolute fave.  Watch her hexagon video tutorials to learn how to baste and piece hexagons in a tried and true, classic technique.  Melanie uses paper templates, hand basting and the super-speedy whip stitch for piecing.  I guess that's why she's been able to make 1,016 hexagons and counting!

Printable PDF Tutorial

If you prefer a handy, printable guide, checkout this PDF hexagon tutorial by Amy of Badskirt.  Amy's technique is similar to Melanie's, but she uses the ladder stitch for piecing.  Some say the ladder stitch hides stitches on the finished side better than the whip stitch.  The PDF also includes some fun piecing designs and templates for cutting your own paper pieces.

Will you cut out paper pieces or buy plastic templates?  Cut your fabric to hexagon shapes or to squares?  Whip stitch, ladder stitch or running stitch for piecing?  What about assembling a large design?  If you're an info junkie like me, you'll adore Adventures in Hexagons from The Sometimes Crafter.  Christina's excellent pictures and notes on what worked for her will help you choose your favorite technique without all that pesky trial and error.
