My stash is full of perfect quarter yards; however, the larger hexagons call for 3/8ths. Believe it or not, I'm terrible at certain fractions! Will I be okay, cutting the larger sized hexes from 1/4yrds, or will I make a frustrating mess? Many thanks to all of you!! -NHSuz
P.S.- not sure how to attach photos yet.
Okay, calculations done. I am assuming when you say perfect 1/4 yards that you mean 9' x WOF (usually about 42) and NOT fat quarters. Although you'd still get 4 8 1/2 hexes from a fat quarter . The 8 1/2 would be WITH seam allowance.
At any rate, 56" wide would be seven 8" finished hexes,
Increase your length 3" to 80" and you'd need 10 rows of hexs. So you'd need 70 hexes total
