The first three borders will be the length of one side of the hexagon, while the second set of three borders will need to be longer (depending on the width of your border). In a way this is similar to doing log cabin. You can also do a mitered border which is a little more tricky.
This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out with my hexagon -- thanks!
