    Please recommend how wide I should cut my strips and that's what I will do.

    You should be able to get away with a 2 1/4 inch strip, maybe as big as 2 1/2 but that I think is pushing it, so they will be small,

    WOW! thanks everyone for the compliments :oops:

    looking back on it now.. I dont think my fabric was the best choice to follow Cutes intructions.
    The stripes made hexs that were just TO different and some EXACTLY the same. I couldnt get them to blend.
    Im just glad it turned out, that goes to show that ANY quilt, ANY mistakes can be rescued and turn out lovely.

    I have attached pics of the salvage. This may help you.

    Hope this helps.

    I don't know the name. I checked Blank Textiles and couldn't find it there.
    THANK YOU!!!

    Hi Another row of blocks completed. This is very exciting. I am loving it. Salmonsweet you blocks are lovely. I am planing on doing a black and white quilt, don't know what design it will be yet. Back to the sewing room blocks are awaiting.

    Just checking back in - love what I'm seeing!
    Salmonsweet - I'm anxiously waiting to see your finished black & cream quilt. I think it's a sharp look.
