    Default Templates to use with Moda Honeycomb?

    What's the best triangle template to use with Moda's 6" honeycomb? The sides are 3". Need triangle and diamond for quilt. Thanks.

    I thought that honeycomb were hexagons in shape. You are paying a premium for that cut. I would think there would be a lot of waste.

    Since they are hexagons, any 60 degree triangle will work. Fold the honeycomb in quarters until you find the center, mark that and then use a 60 degree triangle with the 60 degree angle at the center mark. If you cut carefully, you should be able to get 6 small triangles from one honeycomb. Not sure about diamonds, though.
