I was in a fog trying to figure out what you all were saying about putting these hexes together, the harder I tried, the less I knew. This link above was the "ahha" moment for me. It is so simple when you see it .

OBW was very hard for me to figure out too! I ended up taking a class. The end results: a beautiful quilt but I don't think I will make another one!

Thanks so much for the video. I was impressed with the way you made the seam stand up before you opened it. I have never seen that done. My OBW is in pieces in the closet but may get put together sooner rather than later!

I hope this helps :D

After seeing your pic I know understand how you do it. You might have to come down to the one row so those who don't understand can see it properly. Thanks for the information.
