I made a bunch of these cubes, but they were not completely unwonky. I figured out how to make them even, but that was after I made a bunch that was not exactly the same evenness. I will have to cover that in depth soon, and show how to piece them so they are perfect half hexes and easy to sew without frustration. Meanwhile, I took the four cubes that did not belong with all the gray and purple cubes and made them into a quilt of their own. The dozen purple and gray may never make it into a quilt at all, unless I want to rip a bunch of seams out and make them the right shape. I found out how tough it is to line them up without trimming off half an inch in some places, but it was only four, so it was not that over taxing. The pink I found to go with the little pink chickens on the pale yellow (light) fabric really worked out well. I keep ending up needing pink every now and then, although I do try to steer clear of it. I am quite happy with this baby quilt top. It is 30" X 37".
