Izy, I do use squares to start with but if the squares are too big they overlap way too much on the back. I use squares but then trim them after I've basted them on to the papers to the 1/4" allowance, I don't cut out hexs from my fabric. Is that what you meant?

Can't you just use 1" squares? I would LOVE to see this when you do it

I meant to say, cutting 1"squares with your rotary cutter would be quicker to make the 1/2" hex's with, rather than cut hexagons out !! :thumbup:
