The fabric only just meets at the the last point in the one I have just made using all 6 x 3..
I have just realised after reading the comments only the first gets folded twice all the rest you fold once. SILLY ME.
I did use a linen fabric in some of my Dahlia (which is a thicker fabric) so it would match my other cushions.

Looks fabulous though. Giving a "tute" tomorrow so we Aussie ladies will get our heads together over this one.
