The hexagon I used is 2 3/4" on each side and then I put 1 1/2" strips around it. It's already been sent to NH so I couldn't measure it. That's how I did put the binding on but I had too much fabric in some of the points. I'm going to try the pillowcase because my binding leaves a lot to be desired. My LQS is having a class on binding that I really should take but I don't have the time. I had the moose fabric and it's going to NH where we have moose.
