Which for those that remember back that far in math it has three equal sides. For us that means that we can make three different blocks from the same pieces. So the first thing I want you to do is to audition the first couple of blocks in all three layouts before deciding which one you like the best. Now remeber that you are still going to loose the outside 1/4 inch so it won't be quiet what you see when you put it together. Really pay attention to what makes you decide to put them that way. Because you won't want to be auditioning the whole stack of blocks. Sooner or later you will want to be able to just pick the up and sew. Which in reality you can do that as well. This is just to show you the differences at the moment
I had to repeat this! It took me a minute to understand - - three sides, three different possible OBW .... LOL ... no wonder your mom was growling at you <g> she was probably like me - - the way it looks is just fine, what do you MEAN, I have to make a choice????? LOL I was impressed with the first lesson about selecting fabric, lining it up, cutting the triangles (and, happy!) and, now you point out that in two hexagons, there are SIX different looks! Oh, my! <g> the possibilities! LOL just so cool to have someone who can see that ... I don't know if I would have gotten to it without your input. Good show! <wave>
