The pattern for this quilt is called Science Fair by Jaybird Designs. They also have designed the ruler Hex n'More which was a pleasure to use, once I remembered to use the correct end of the ruler! I was cutting the gray background half hexies lickity split. Then I started cutting the strip sets for the colored hexies and realized that I wasn't cutting triangles, I was still cutting half hexies! The triangle part of the ruler was on the other end! Of course I didn't have enough fabric for another strip set. That's why some of the hexies are different. But, I think it adds some interest! Maybe a happy mistake?
These blocks are called Star Fusion. Our Guild brought in Janna, from Bloc-Loc for a class on how to use her ruler to make Half Square Rectangles. this is not how the blocks will go together, there will be pieced sashing that will make a secondary star, but I wanted to see what would happen without the sashing. I love the new bright colors and solids!
Seems like this post is more about rulers than anything else. I confess....I am a ruler and gadget junkie!

Love your hexies and star fusion blocks. I've not seen the Star Fusion before.
your hexies look great and loving those stars!
It will be interesting to see how the secondary pattern shows through.
