No problem! I forgot to mention this, but you'll also want to make sure that when you hit "print", that your scale is "none". My printer had it set to scale to fit, which altered my measurements slightly.

I love incompetech! I use it all the time to print custom graph paper to draft quilt patterns and other design stuff. I tried to draft my own templates to cut apart and use, and if anyone wants to try out the templates I drafted, here's the link to the pdf. Make sure you change page scaling to "None" when you print- rather than "fit to page" or "shrink to page" etc. Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure my geometry is correct, but I haven't tested them yet so use at your own risk!

This is so helpful... I was stuck and go and get a hexigon and feel like you took that hard part out for me. Can't wait to print and start cutting!

I used isometric triangle grid paper (incompetech also) to draft my templates. www.paperpieces.com has free pattern sheets - go here www.paperpieces.com/contents/en-us/d31.html
"kite 001" is what you want, you could enlarge to any size you want. i started the m.o. pattern a few months ago.

Hemlock Tea, I'm having trouble getting back to your template... is it just me?

I was just looking through one of my books yesterday called ''Making Antique Quilts'' by Rita Weiss, to find a project for an English paper-piecing class that I am going to teach...She calls this quilt hexagon illusions in her book because although it looks like a hexagon shaped theme...it is actually kites. You can make the entire quilt with one template if you wanted to.

Yes I have seen that method and mentioned it in my tutorial.
I have just made it simpler, with less pieces, and not the 72 needed with the kite method :o)
