it gets worse....
using the right template, I get 7 cuts from a strip, so 35 complete hexies (not the 45 husband calculated previously)
it all boils down to the fact that (dear??) husband didn't get the right template, he used the template from "54-40 or Fight", not the 60 degree one
I asked him to cut these for me because he is VERY particular about cutting anything
....this is the guy who is making templates for Dear Jane (it's easier to hand piece with accurate templates according to him!!)
oh well, I've gone from mskinh a large lap/bed throw to a small lap quilt, not I will be lucky to get a really small lap/display quilt......
or......I need to buy another couple of yards of fabric, don't want to do that, can't really afford it
*sigh*
