There are 17260 half inch hexagons in the design! Again more research of the best way to tackle this large, will I live long enough, project. I decided on using the freezer paper method, and bought 200 ready cut 1/2 inch freezer paper hexagons from Daisy and Grace, I soon had this ironed and tacked to my fabric, so sent for 300 more while again researching how to cut my own. A Friskars cutter was the answer, but no one in the UK seemed to sell them so I had to send to the USA [through Amazon] and wait two weeks for it to arrive, which it did yesterday and I already have a paper cut to prove I have started using it.
A couple of days ago I started putting a few together and much to the amusement of my crafty friends I am loving the hand sewing. In the past the word HAND has always been a four letter swear word to me as I am much better known for using my sewing machine.
Goodness knows how old the ruler is but I thought it gave an indication of the size of the hexagons.
If you want to join me this is where I bought the pattern. www.gritslifeshop.de
