How did you come up with that 2 7/8ths width for the strips? Was that just how it fit the measurements of your pieces of fabric? Or is there some formula?
I usually go by something even and easier to cut, like 3" or 3.5", which I recently used on some fabric, but they are not giving me all that great of hexies.
In the quilt photo, each of your hexies look about 2" finished, or less.
I think I will try cutting my triangles smaller next time! You made a heck of a lot of little hexies for this quilt!!! Well done in the originality, too.
