    Thank you so much for this info. Can't believe I didn't remember this from high sch. geometry. Haven't needed it til I started quilting. Thanks again.

    This is sooo cool. I've been wondering what to do for a back when my hand stitched paper piece hexagon top is finished. I think I'll make the large news paper hex and just make a back with bigger hexs. Thanks so much!
