When someone says they are doing a "one-inch hexagon" - I never know which dimension is being use -
side length, height, or "diameter"
Awesome! Thank you bearisgrey!

Our teacher talked about confusion in hex measurements; she told us that for normal piecing the size is usually height ("flat to flat"), for paper piecing the size is usually a side...but everybody breaks the rules and mixes things up.
