Okay, got that figured out!
Will this fabric work, it has a 12 inch repeat and if it will, should I use a black mottled back ground? I've been checking Hancocks of Paducah for the background as I need to order another fabric from them. What do you think? Not a problem if it's wrong, I'll find something else, picked this because I thought my DGG would love the peaches and oranges!

Yes just pic the halves together, otherwise you end up with a bunch of y seams when you put it together,
the fabric is great! I am not sure about what you need in a background fabric?

Not sure what you mean by that, but I will reread all of your directions before I start.
When I get the hexagons cut out, do I attach a fabric to each piece to, before I sew them together, so that I can eventually cut the block square? Or am I really not understanding this and making it too hard?

Yes, I see that now! I am printing off your directions, as I said I've mixed it up with a stack and whack book that I was looking at! Tomorrow morning I will review your directions (after my fist cup of coffee). I'll check in tomorrow! Have a great night and thank you so much for all of your help! You are a gem!
