barb - wendy's stripes is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much
quilt nan - i love that ... and might do something like that with the two different fabrics - a chain of each !
suzi- now why didn't I think of that!!!! Um, yes, it does make a hexagon! Amazing what your brain won't connect unless prompted! I have other border fabrics, and will definitely be looking at hexies for the next one! Thanks
