I "cheated" and used Marci Baker's strip-piecing method because I'd rather machine piece than hand piece. Only another quilter would notice that it doesn't have "true" hexagons. I found the instructions years ago at alicias-attic.com

Becca, your quilt is beautiful. I have used green "paths" on mine, and think I prefer the white. Light and airy looking. How nice you have your aunt's top to quilt. I bet it is all hand pieced too. Wonderful treasure for sure

Light bulb moment here! I bet a person could cut your freezer paper to printer paper size ( I have done this for other quilting purposes ), and print it directly on your freezer paper. this would save lots of time and be very accurate. I know when I have cut freezer paper to size I use my rotory cutter and rulers so my paper is perfectly sized to fit in my printer- works great.

I was always wondering what dimension to use when describing a hexagon. Thanks.

Thanks, everyone, for all your information and input. I just found a great site for printing out my 1.5" hexagons.....9 to a page!! I couldn't get but 3 to a page on one site that I checked on. www.moxyideas.com
