It has been a while since I ordered, but did not get the large pack. I believe I got somewhere in the 100s. As I said they can be used over and over again until too many holes get punched in the paper to make them useful. I don't remember paying more than $20 for the set.

I did mine using the mylar hexagons. It was an easy way to go but be aware--buy all you want to use at the same place. I bought mine from two different places and one set was thicker than the other which meant they were bigger when the mylar was taken out.

Thank you both for your suggestions! It seems like most go with paper in some form rather than the Mylar hexagons. Kquilts1, when you ordered your paper pieces from Paper Pieces did you order to make a queen size quilt and if so how many pieces did you order?

One of my friends uses pre-cut stiff paper templates for her hexagons. They are not as heavy as cardboard but heavier than computer paper. My LQS carries hexagon papers, although not the brand my friend uses. I wonder if googling would bring up some products? You save your hands cutting out all those templates and they are not as bendy as paper is.

You can go either way. I have not tried the Mylar. Instead I found a place where you can buy stiff paper pieces that can be used over and over again. Pretty reasonable price you might want to check out. It is http://www.paperpieces.com. Did a large quilt using them and even had GAs (7 to 11-year-olds) doing them. Worked great.

Hi!
I am wanting to start a hexagon flower garden quilt. I am thinking of doing the English paper piecing technique and was wonder if the plastic Mylar hexagon templates is the way to go or print off freezer paper templates? Any suggestions would be appreciated I am totally new tp English paper piecing
