Sorry Kathy, I forgot to respond to this. I took the 2.5" square and simply basted it "as is" around the cardstock hexie and didn't worry about the the extra bits rather than having a perfect 0.25" seam allowance around all siz sides. Some sides have more than necessary but there is a minimum of 0.25" at the smallest point.
