Yes, you sew block by block. I stack them up and then do them.
Yes, fold it over again so you won't have a raw edge.
Acually you can make any size you like. That's the size I came up with. They sell hexagon shapes also. Just make your back one 3/4" larger to fold over and sew. Hope I answered all your questions clearly. I'm so glad you like my quilt! Thanks!!! Jan

Yes, It's self binding. I don't know if it's English paper pieceing or not. It's just slip stitched together. Thank you for the comments and I'm glad you like the quilt. It really was fun to do and it looks so pretty on my bed. Jan

Yes, everything is hexagon shape. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I work out of town and only get to e-mail on the weekends. Jan

No, it's not Stack n Whack. I just sewed from point to point to hold everything together. Your flowered fabric would look real nice for the hexagons. I've done One Block Wonders that use the 60 degree ruler. That was great fun too. I did two of them. The pics are on here somewhere. Thank you for your comments. Everyone is so supportive on here and you are all great! Jan

Not to confuse you when I said I stack them up and then sew them. I do one at a time and just save them up and sew them together when I have time. I don't write directions very clearly. Sorry!

MsGrace, after reading over my answer to you I meant to say cut your back one 1 and 3/4" larger. So sorry. Jan

Jan,
Does this mean you do your quilting on each individual hexagon before you sew them all together?
Thanks for the help! :-)

Yes Jean you quilt each hex before sewing it together. It holds everything together nicely. Hope this helps! Jan
