Does it matter or would you just have a smaller block with a wmaller repeat. I do love this pattern but have never attempted it...so there will probably be more questions.
If you have a smaller repeat and you want to have lots of triangles to make your hexagons with, you might need more than 6 repeats, like 12. You'd also need more if you want to make a larger quilt. All the OBW's I've made were meant to be hung on a wall, so the finished size didn't matter so much. Plus, if you want to include some of the original print in your border, you need to plan for that and buy more.
