I have cut and pieced this type of quilt using 60 degree half hexagons. It went together easy enough, but I used precut charms. I got a full hexagon out of each square and went through 2 packs of charms without having the braids long enough for a lap quilt. When I went to buy another package of charms my LAQ was out and couldn't get any more!!! Needless to say it sits on my shelf until I figure out what to do with it! Maybe table runner...hmmm.
