No, it's very easy. You cut the 10" pieces in half, then cut a 60 degree angle from each end of both halves - you need to keep those offcuts from the left hand cuts separate from the right hand cuts for when you come to put the pieced border together. Then arrange your layout, obviously matching the half hexagons, and they are stitched together in horizontal rows. Then you join the rows together - easy!
My only problem, as always! :lol: was deciding on the layout of the different colours and patterns....
