I absolutely love this - what size are the hexagons?

When I started cutting them I cut 2.5" strips and used a template and rotary cutter to cut out. when edges are turned over the papers they measure 1.75. I now cut them with a go cutter and die and cut the strips at 2.5/8". I look forward to seeing your quilt .G
I have just measured each edge and thy are 1" G

Lovely, my grandmother was a quilter and this was one of the patterns she used often. She did everything by hand, even the piecing and all the pieces were individually cut from scraps. I think this is what kept her alive so long. She probably would have gone batty without quilting and other needle arts to keep her occupied. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
