I am just wondering how you got a straight edge on two sides?
I did not make the top so would have done it differently but she made two sides straight by cutting half hexies on two opposite sides and filling in the spaces with them and the opposite two ends are the peaks and valleys way. You can see a little bit of the straight side in the upper left corner of picture.
