Love it K! I like the one on the far right also. Thats really interesting as I would have thought that the larger hexes would have worked better...shows what I get for thinking. Great piece! Is this one going on your web site for sale?
Editted to say that of course I posted and opened my huge mouth prior to reading all the posts. So I do see that you will put it on your site. Its a great piece!

My strips were 4 1/2", 3 1/2" and 2 1/2" and I got as close as I could to all the same size for the panels then just sliced the top section off to get them exactly the same size - if you look close you can see they're not true half hexes but the eye completes them. Width ways the panels are the same width with three, four and six hexes across. The large hexs are 8" across so 3 x 8 = 24, the middle ones are 6" so 4 x 6 =24 and the small are 4" so 6 x 4= 24. I wish I could say that this is due to careful advance calculation but in fact, it's a pure fluke (or alternatively, I'm a genius!! :mrgreen: )
What was the yardage you started with to get that many blocks in different sizes?

I just wrote a question, but I didn't quote your explanation
of the different size blocks correctly, so I'm afraid my
question got lost in the post. Here's my question again.
How much yardage did you need to get that many blocks
in the 3 different sizes?
Thanks,
Marcia
