The set of instructions I was using said cut your sq 2.5 inches and demonstrated how to sew it on the cardstock hexagon. Let's just say, I have lots of material in some spots and then 1/4" at the corners where you fold. I just want something to do while I'm recouperating from the shoulder surgery. Something easy, fast and fun, that can be done by hand.

I also have lots of fab. in spots, but as long as you have your 1/4 in. at the points, I think you are fine. It is easy, fast and fun, and will be a good project while you are recouperating.
Wishing you a fast and complete recovery! My grandmother told me when I was learning to do embrodery (like 65 years ago!) that the back will be just between God and you, and God is very forgiving!

( I do 1 in. hex's, and cut my fabric 2.5 in. sq. Pin the paper to the sq. and lop off the corners. ) But, that being said, I don't fret about the back. As long as the seam allowence is very near .25" it won't work undone, and once it's completed, you will (hopefully) never see the back again! Enjoy the process. How about a picture of your back side. (the hex's of course :D )

How is your shoulder coming along? And, your hexes?
I just checked out Kaye Wood's way, looks easy and no waste.
