Default Hand Pieced Dresden FAIL

Please help me learn from this. Did I stretch fabric by pulling? sew bad seams? Need to cut on grain?

Out of town, ran out of cut hexes so I attempted to hand piece a dresden (one on left, right is machine pieced). Lesson learned: do not do this without a template for marking. The hole in the center is much bigger (hard to tell in photo).

Actually took the wind out of my first-attempt-at-hand-piecing sail. I was doing so well with the hexagons I thought I could hand piece anything. Wrong!
