Thank you for the responses to my question. There is some thought provoking information here and now I need to get back to the re-design process as I already bought the fabric and made the hexes for the 27 x 54 I had intended to make. Now I will need to make it larger and will need to redesign fast in case I need more of the same fabrics. They were used bolts I bought from-not full bolts. So I know how today will be spent. LOL I have learned a good lesson which is before you start an EPP project---chart it out so you know exactly where you are going!
