Love the quilt but I can't help with your question.

Love that quilt AND the fact that you all help so quickly.

It's so cool... I bookmarked it for later!

I used the One Block Wonder book and made one similar to this. Using a design wall makes it real easy to sew the quilt as strips without losing track of which hexagons you want to sew together.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-92503-1.htm Skip thru the instructions till you get to the part where the strips are cut into 60 degree triangles. Make sure you don't join the 2 halves of the Hexagon! it will make it so much easier to construct. |
love that quilt!! thanks for sharing-I may need to buy that special ruler too :-D :-D

Can't believe how easy this is! Just using up batik scraps right now. And it looks so fancy!!
Will make rows of 1/2 hexes then join matching rows together. What fun! I made 4 hexes from cutting strips to finished in under 1 1/2 hrs! |
