yes, unless you have 12 repeats and then you would want to cut in groups of two to get your 6 repeats, you need 6 pieces that look the same for your stack,

don't fold anything, leave it flat out, if you have 12 repeats, you can cut them in pairs of two to give you a bigger piece to work with so you have less scrap, you want 6 pieces of fabric that look exactly the same,

7 repeats, I bought 5 yds. so then I would have another 7 because right now it is folded so once I cut on the fold I would have 2 long pieces to total 14 repeats(correct?)

yes, if you would like to save the last repeat, just cut it off before splitting the fabric.

only if you don't want to do y seams, Sharon, if you leave them in half, they sew in strips all straight, if you sew them all the way into hexagons you have y seams to deal with.
