Well, I goofed big time. I bought my fabric before I read the directions (I know I'm a dufus.) I bought 3 yards of fabulous material not realizing that most material has a 24" repeat. Don't laugh but I thought "I only want to make a small lap quilt or wall hanging just to learn with" and now I have only 4 repeats to work with. Sob... I also bought 3 yards of the same designer thinking I would be able to use 2 beautiful pieces of fabric in my OBW.

I had to leave the quilt room...I am such a dufus. Does any of you wonderful OBW quilters have any ideas how I can salvage this project? I've thought maybe I can use 2 triangles of the other fabric to make the half hexagon, but even writing that down doesn't sound like it would work. Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem and how they solved it, or should I just call it a day and crawl under the covers? (Sob, sniff....)
