Apologies for photo quality. My blackberry's camera leaves MUCH to be desired.

I picked up this fabric the other day, wanting to try a OBW/Kaleidoscope. I'm doing a hexagon.

I've read tutorials, I've watched youtube videos. I get what I need to do ONCE I decide where to cut. I just can't figure out where to cut, and if to cut selvage to selvage, or the other direction. I see where the repeat is-- and there are 12" between repeats. So I THINK I cut a 12" width even though I want to end up with 4.5" strips? Huh?

So I'm staring at this fabric and not quite knowing how to decide where to cut, which direction? how many inches. horiz? vertical?

I'm stuck!!!! help !!!
