Oops...just realized this should have gone in the next installment (Layout). Should I repost it there?

I was also thinking of moving the fence off center (it wasn't there intentionally). I would do that by moving hexagons from the right edge to the left edge (or vice versa). It's REALLY hard to move the fence :-(
Any other ideas?
BTW I have to fill in that little space below the center of the fences...no problem with that.

I made this just to make sure this would be as fun as it appears before making something bigger. I have no idea how to lay it out. I only have 19 blocks. I am not sure there is a way to make it look good. I would love your suggestions. Eash block looks really cute, but as a whole not so much.
BTW, this was as fun as it looks, so once I get these sewn together I am going to start the real one :)

That is awesome. I love the way you have it laid out now though you probably have more blocks. I think it would make a great table topper. And the leftovers could be made into coasters or something. It would be quiet the conversation piece.
What some have done is put some plain pieces and use it more as a stack n wack layout. All depends on how big or what you want to do with it.
