PERFECT!! Thank you soooooo much...so much better than the winging plan I thought I was going to have to do...now to pick it back up and finish it =D I thought it was going to end up unfinished in frustration, but now I am sooooo excited to get it finished!!!

I love that finishing technique. When I get mine done that's how I'm finishing it. Thanks.

I just found another one - more hexies folded over to make a row on the back:

Love your patience. I'm not sure I'd ever get through a project like this.
