My hexies mjeasure 1 3/4 on t5he sides. I wanted to make one, but I am 73 and have heart diesease. Thought it best to go big and finish it. It is a great take along project. I started it in May and should have it done my may of 15. It will be a king size. I just printed off more hexies to get ready for my Christmas cruise. I hope to finish all the white ones (ALMOST 400) while I am gone. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
