Yes, you need to put a triangle on opposite sides of the hexagon. This link will give you an idea of how it works:

It was 1900 series, show 1904. I've been looking for the pattern also. I've been quilting for 4 years and this one sounds interesting. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what a digital pattern is? Is it one that is downloaded when you pay for it. I found it for $5.00.

See if this works for u. http://www.fonsandporter.com/content...Ozark_Star.pdf
I bought a regular hexagon ruler. Was in the quilting section at Joanns and a fraction of the cost of F&P. I made this pattern and it came out really nice

I just picked up a book i have called All Quilt Blocks are Not Square by Debra Wagner and it has the Ozark Tile block in there. way too difficult they way they do it. it can be done like the 10 minute blocks with more inserted squares inbetween the blocks when rows are put together. I'd never do one difficult again when show an easier way.
Thank you for the book review. I just ordered a copy from Amazon. I'm always looking for new methods to make quilt blocks for guild demos. This method seems really different and fun. Guild members think I'm a genius finding all the new stuff, thanks to this board!

Hexagon Rulers
Good luck in finding the Fons and Porter Hexagon templates - I have been looking at JoAnns every time that I go and they have an empty spot for the tool - just no tool. Sewing with Nancy also had a show on making a very large hexagon quilt and it is an easy way to to Grandmother's Flower Garden. She probably has her own templates too.
