    I cut out one of the strips, I cut them down to 2 1/2" X 22"
    ***doesn't that surprise you cutebuns :shock: LMBO***
    and I ended up with 13 blocks
    I just had to see what they looked like, so here are a few that I have pics of. All 13 blocks are in it's own paper plate.
    I will finish cutting up the rest of the strips tomorrow :D:D:D

    If you are asking me - I have 6 meters so lots of repeats in length. It is a 24" repeat.

    That does not surprise me at all Amma, I had to fight all the way to cut mine as big as I did, and of course the whole time I was cutting I was thinking that I should have gone smaller, it is good to see that you are auditioning them, we will be covering that next monday!

    as you are cutting along, if you notice that some of your strips look alike, you can move the triangle over a bit to make it in a different spot and or cut from the other end, I started on the salvage edge in the pictures, you can also cut from the other end so that your start and stop will be in a different place.

    I have my one half all cut up and will be saving the other half for later in case I need more pictures along the way.


    Sure Amma, most people don't use plates to eat on, everyone uses them for quilting,

    Boy did I misunderstand! When you mentioned hexagons, I thought you all were making an 'I Spy' quilt.
    It is a stack and whack or kaleidascope.
    Oh well, now I better understand how to make one.
    Thanks for the tut.
