Yes, you will need 2 triangles for every hexagon (plus or minus a handful, depending what you do at the edges).
If you want more explanation of my formula, I can do that; I just didn't want to clutter this up with triangles and the square root of 3 and whatnot if you don't want it.
Good luck!
Oh by all means, share! I was really good at math in high school but I've forgotten everything about geometry since then! I will probably remember it better if you go into more detail. (If you don't mind, of course; you've given me what I need already, and thank you for that!)
I'm on a huge aqua/turquoise and orange/tangerine kick lately. I used to HATE orange but now I'm becoming pretty fond of it! Fond enough that I want to make this our spring bed quilt.
