I must admit that I am enjoying it!
WTG!

Some of the hexagons laid out

Wow, isn't it cool what you end up with. I also bought clearance. Hopefully it will turn out as nice as yours. thanks for sharing.
I went looking and found a photo of what I started with. I was showing my sisters what I was doing...picture worth a 1000 words and all that... I borrowed the book 'One Block Wonder' and went from there..
