So glad about the successful pix! they probably were too large before.
One additional comment. On all hexagonal quilts you have the issue of those 2 edges not being straight. You have at least 3 options:
1) leave them as zig zags.
2) cut and piece end blocks (note that these are not half blocks! they need to be a bit larger to accomodate the seam allowance)
3) piece it up just as you have it, when you are done, cut the partial triangles off with a ruler and rotary cutter. Make sure that you add the seam allowance when you cut.

This thread is why I enjoy the board so much. BDawn came to the board with a question. Several quilters chimed in and helped. In reading BDawn question and the answers, I was helped too. I have ordered the piecing book. My swap partners will reap the benifits. Thanks all.
