    Beautiful. You did a fantastic job on the cutting to make the pieces match. I love it.

    Not a pattern as such, but a method - One Block Wonder - as in the books by Maxine Rosenthal. Available on Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...wonders+encore

    See also the topic on here for OBWs etc

    http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp

    You make up your own design once you have cut your hexagons - and you need one of the books to start with!
    You didnt say how much of the fabric you have, but you will need 6 repeats so as it is a 12" repeat you should have absolute minimum of 2 yds, ideally 2-1/2yds.

    I do put in alot more pins than suggested in the book for that very reason, as some fabrics require it.

    Absolutely! There is lots of scope with these to make a design "special", and they are very enjoyable to do.

    Please tell everyone that this is NOT a hard pattern, but fun! I think they think the magic is in the cutting or the sewing - it's in the fabric! OBW is one place where surprises are a good thing. : )
