I have yet to finish mine yet, I want to work on it some more but other things have come up, tomorrow is a new day, I am liking all what I am seeing though, it is really exciting to watch. it has been fun, and you all have not been near as bad as you think that you have, remember I have teens in the house.

I have been through both places in BC, my parents live in the lower mainland.

OK, I know this is probably a really dumb question but I am really confused. I see that I can fill in the top and bottom with 1/2 blocks to get a straight edge. On the long sides I want a straight edge as well so do I just cut off some of the block? That is a scary thought! Hope someone can tell this challenged person how to do this.
Susy I am in Kelowna so we are pretty close - CB I used to live in Calgary so I was close by for many years.

Thanks,

Unfortunately if you want a straight edge on the other edged you have to cut off the points, It isn't as painful as I thought, I didn't on this one but depending on how much time I have I have cut them off, they are only little pieces, and I imagine if you have saved all of your scraps I imagine that they are a lot less that you usually have, at least that is my experience with it,

So line up your ruler to the inside points and cut away.

I've seen it done both ways, filled in and cut off. Either looked good.

I am close to 4 hours north of there now, I did live right in Edmonton for more than 10 years, we have only been out in the boonies for 2 1/2 years and I like it so much better, I did spend my teen years in the lower mainland, it was a lot different than Ont.

Thanks for the info CB - now I can start sewing. BTW I will always be an Alberta girl. Miss everything but the cold.

Off to sew now.

I cut mine down. Didn't hurt a bit. In fact, looked really nice.

Here is a picture of mine laid out...all the hexes together. I think I like it like this but am willing to hear any suggestions you all have.

No I did not stand on the pool table to take those, hehe. I stood on a stool since you guys said it is better to get a straight on shot. And here is a secret. I noticed to day that I put on a triangle worng and decided to leave it. Here are pics.

I would not have found that if you hadn't pointed it out! It can become your "mistake on purpose".

It looks beautiful!
