I don't have anyone here to take pictures of me demoing this. When my DD comes home I'll post pics.

In other words, you are cutting your hexes out to size and then just hand piecing them together without templates. Makes sence to me, one step omitted that way, as long as you cut your hezes out correctly. To help know where to start and stop, I'll use Jinny Beyer's perfect piecer. I love it for marking where to stitch when hand piecing. Thanks a lot. :)
