Handsome hexies

So I am trying my hand at a bit of hexagon (english paper piecing) action for my next PTS cushion. After totally falling in love with my UHG swap hexagon loveliness from my very clever partner, I thought I'd extend myself with a new skill (also my sewing machine is out of action, so a bit of handpiecing is the way to go if I'm going to finish it in time!). So far so good, but am getting a bit of an inkling that I may have bitten off a little more then I can chew! I am using this fab tutorial (PDF). What I'm loving about all these swaps (apart from receiving awesome stuff!) is it is pushing me to try new things! (and furthermore I actually have to finish the projects!)

Genius.
