Hopefully I will be able to cut a few out, maybe next week after I move into a service apartment. Still busy trying to pack things up, we have to be out of here on Wednesday.

I'm very curious about how it will look after you start putting the hex's together, could you please post pics as you go. I'm use to looking for material for a stack and whack. That print that you have picked out would not work for the S A W. I want to make a OBW but don't know what to look for as far as fabric.
