I don't know why that wouldn't work. It's essentially a braid quilt cut into 12.5 inch blocks. Jenny's method does create a lot of waste. I made a table runner with part of it and I still quite a lot left.

I sent it to them for quilting. They included a nice note when they returned it.

And thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

By keep adding half hexes, I could cut the blocks square at 13". Going to give it a try on the next one. Everyone that has seen my quilts like that pattern.

You need to send this pic to MSQC so they can see what you did with the cut off parts. I never did it because of the waste. Thank you. It is gorgeous.
