Tip toe through the hexagons Cutie style! Cutting
#251
Esqmommy, for each quilt the strips are all the same size. That is just strip sizes I would stay away from. If you strips are falling really close to the same spot in the print I would cut a small strip off to move it a bit.

Fabric is expensive over here and for my first OBW I was a bit scared to spend $20 metre on fabric I really liked just incase I make a huge mistake!

Picked up a 60 degree ruler today and discovered that not all 60 degree rulers are the same. - some of the angles differed by up to 1/8 inch if you lay one on top of the other. Go figure. Does this matter? I figured it wouldn't matter as I'll use the same ruler for all the cuts. But I thought it was strange. Anyone else see this? There were 3 different rulers by three different manufacturers. I got the Fons and Porter one. Thought it would be the safest to use for size accuracy.

if you have a protractor I would check it with that, (found in math sets, the dollar store carries them) if you don't have one, maybe cut 6 triangles out of paper and if together they make a full circle with no gaps you are good to go, if it is off, the bigger the block the more it will be out,
