Great blocks Libster and Stafar. Stafar your points are perfect, seems you were worried for nothing.
I have Billi's first block (she is my twofer) hot off the presses. Last boom we did a side swap and I made her a block w/ this same fabric, at the time I was torn between the block I made and making a POTC's type block, ultimately I went w/ the 8 point block when I realized I could get 2 from it but this time I went w/ the elongated hexies. This does have 2 other shapes to finish off the print (and b/c I had some fabric left). Most of the time when I fussy cut from an f8 especially w/ repeats I have to compromise between what I would like and what I have the repeats for, but this one even if I had had 1 yard of fabric I would have used these same areas.
