I can show you how to cut a hexie from your material. Not sure I can find my book with the directions but I will look tomorrow. If I find it will let you know. Really easy you start with a square.

Mary -- your hexie mug mats are beautiful! I must make some. My daughter has a table that shaped .... hmmmm .... gives me ideas.

BettyJ -- the boys are adorable. I bet you're having so much fun. I would love grandchildren ... but my daughters are not cooperative .... & not married .... so I have to wait!

I did find one hexie ruler and I measured from the top to bottom and it is 4 3/4" and that is the biggest one it makes. If you can find your book I'd be interested in how to make bigger ones.

Pat since you have a hexi ruler just do like I did in this picture to enlarge it. This happens to be a 1" wide ruler so it makes this 2"'s bigger in dia. 7 1/2" (started with the 5 1/2" pink hexi )You can use an even wider ruler to make it bigger or just go around again on the new drawn pattern. I want to know how to make a hexi using the squares also. I think it would be something good to know. Hope you find the directions Sis. By the way are you all ready to move yet?

I took a couple pictures of my cheat sheet to show you how to cut a hexie...
I think this is self explanatory

Hope this helps you as you can make any size hexie with this formula and also there is a long table runner you can make....
