Need triangle/hexagon help
I am trying to make a "tuffet" for my daughter using 6 - 15" equilateral triangles on each side that are then joined with 15" by 5" strips of fabric. The directions I'm using say to mark dots a quarter inch inside all the sides, and attach the strips to the sides of the triangles first. But then it seems to indicate I should sew all the way to the edge of the fabric in every step. How do I join all these pieces? Do I sew all partial seams til all the pieces are together? Sew partial seams only on the triangles and not on the strips? I am confused. Can anyone tell me how this should work? TIA
