Hi
I have made a couple - one with a large floral pattern and one with Japanese dragons and bamboo. I found them very simple to do. Just cut your triangles as in "Stack and Whack" with your 6 panels of repeats lined up perfectly. Sew the triangles together in three's and do not join the units in the centre as you would to make the hexagon. Place these on your design wall with the 2 halves butted up against each other (an unsewn hexagon). These unsewn halves will form the rows and when you have distributed them in a colour design that you like, start sewing the rows together. The hexagons will form when you add each subsequent row. At the first and last rows you will fill in the spaces with half hexagons distributed across the row. You will also nees single triangles to finish the end of each row.

I made sure each row was numbered so I didn't mess up.

Try it
