The idea of it is that you use one fabric, and cut one trianble block shape repetitively from six layers of fabric, stacked according to the repetitions. Then you sew them together and each of the six are identical because you have stacked them so. Each hex (six pieces) makes like a kaleidoscope and because each set are different, it varies.
Look around ... there's been lots of threads lately on this. Some have good pics of how it's done and tutorials. Also, read the 4-Patch Posey threads. Similar concepts.
