Half Hexagons....
How do you baste a half hexie for a GFG quilt? Are the little corners suppose to be tucked in, or are you just suppose to clip them after they're sewn to the rest of the quilt? I have searched EVERYWHERE and can't find any instructions, pictures or guidance for this process. Thanks once again for any help anyone can give.

I have never seen a half hexagon used as a full one would be. half hex's are usually for ease of sewing rows and a short cut from getting by without doing Y seams. Just look up GFG and you should find something. look in Tutorials here too.

Personally I always trim the rabbit ear to keep the seam straight and as flat as possible. Don't know if it is right but on a triangle you trim the ears so why not an a hexagon. Don't go lower the
