That's a great idea, I never thought of that!! I've made two quilts now from that pattern. Also made a couple table runners, adding strips until I got the length I wanted. That would save a lot of fabric and would be much quicker. The pattern results in blocks 12 1/2 inches long and mine were 13 inches wide that had to cut down to 12 1/2 to make the block square. By keep adding half hexes, I could cut the blocks square at 13". Going to give it a try on the next one. Everyone that has seen my quilts like that pattern.
