It is a similar process, but only uses triangles to form hexagons, which you sew together in half hexagon strips so no inset seams to deal with, the stack n whack is formed with triangles and rectangles to form a square I believe

Lovely to hear from you Jan!!

I actually got 'nearly' eight in one piece, as the last one had been cut a couple of inches short, so after using six for the hexagons I have one full panel left for the back and the slightly short panel that I may use to make a cushion to go with it as I think this will only turn out lap size anyway

:D

I have been lurking, but not enough time to post like I used to :(

Hi Val :D

It was a case of getting what I could, we only have one fabric shop which has a small collection of craft fabrics, I have no idea how long it will take me to find fabrics to finish it, I may just have to do a bit of on line fabric searching :wink:

Thanks all for your lovely comments, I will keep you updated with it's progress when I get time :D

Just to let all my friends know, John is coping really well with his chemo, has his last dose in a couple of weeks, so we are just trying our best to get on with our lives and making the most of what time he has left which the consultant now believe is likely to be longer than what they first predicted, all your positive vibes are working, thanks!! :D :D :D
