I haven't done it so don't know if it would work. I would just keep adding the black strips and half hexies and cut off blocks as I go. Do you think it would work?
I don't know why that wouldn't work. It's essentially a braid quilt cut into 12.5 inch blocks. Jenny's method does create a lot of waste. I made a table runner with part of it and I still quite a lot left.

I sent it to them for quilting. They included a nice note when they returned it.
And thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

That's a great idea, I never thought of that!! I've made two quilts now from that pattern. Also made a couple table runners, adding strips until I got the length I wanted. That would save a lot of fabric and would be much quicker. The pattern results in blocks 12 1/2 inches long and mine were 13 inches wide that had to cut down to 12 1/2 to make the block square. By keep adding half hexes, I could cut the blocks square at 13". Going to give it a try on the next one. Everyone that has seen my quilts like that pattern.

You need to send this pic to MSQC so they can see what you did with the cut off parts. I never did it because of the waste. Thank you. It is gorgeous.

It's a great quilt and lovely generous gift. Now I am curious. What are the daughters' names?
