Cutebuns, Okay DH, the engineer, is home from his golf game and we are both at a loss. We see 3 repeats across this piece of fabric, tho the 3rd repeat is not a complete repeat. I cut it in half, as you said, and can line up 3 pieces of fabric from the first half but for the life of us, we can't see how we can get 3 pieces of the second half to line up with the 3 pieces of the first half without losing a lot of fabric and getting very few hexes. Please tell me what we are doing wrong!
