Any suggestions on how to quickly and accurately cut that many? Please HELP.
Hello from another Oregonian!
Whew, that's a lot of hexagons!
Kaye Wood has a video about cutting and sewing hexagons.

She is using her Starmaker 6 ruler. Which I have, to bad we are not closer, (I'm south of Eugene) I could loan it to you. But I did go into my sewing room and checked the Starmaker 6 and my 60 degree ruler.... they are the same size. So you should be able to use the same principles to make the hexagons.
Good luck!
