I thought that I would take a picture of this before embarking out on 32nds. How long does it take you guys to fold a 32nds grid? Sometimes it can take me up to a week, depending on how much I work on it. This one isn't taking so long, I think I started it on Thursday.

umm, if I'm using paper like 6 inch kami
(15cm x 15cm) then it takes... maybe 3 hours,
or so? it depends on whether I am doing it
riding on the bus or if I do it sitting down
at home, I guess.

oh, corrollary question- what method do you
guys use to fold into a grid? I've started
using the Fujimoto method that Melisande
shared with me, as it's pretty darn quick to
get started, at least with thin paper...

Yeah I think I take the same time for a 6x6,
this is a 12x12 though, so it takes me
longer. As for methods, I don't know the
Fujimoto one, unless I'm doing it without
knowing it. I start by folding the paper in
half, and then I fold one corner up to that
fold, and after maybe two or three folds I
end up with a diamond, then i unfold it I
have the start of a grid.

I'm not sure that I know the Fujimoto method
either. I fold the paper in half, then fold
the halves in half, and then fold the corners
up to the second set of creases to start a
hexagon centered in the paper. I then start
halving the pleats two or three times, then
rotate 120 degrees, etc., to make sure that
the creases continue to intersect properly
and don't stray. I don't think I work as fast
as some of you guys do; it may take all day
for me to do a sheet if I do nothing else,
but I usually work 64 or 48 pleat grids (for
the latter, I start by dividing the paper in
thirds instead of in half).

Never seen Kawamura book, but I think
Fujimoto's method is roughly the same : fold
in half 2 times, unfold the last, put the
corner to this crease and wrap around to make
an equilateral triangle.

I use the second method you teach in one of
yours .pdf, Eric. When I get lazy, I'll fold
the grid on a square sheet of paper and then
cut the larger hexagon possible. Other times
(when I want a hexagon) I'll use Roberto
Gretter's method to obtain the hexagon and
use the main creases as guide lines to fold
the grid.

I should really try cutting out some
hexagons, it would make a lot more sense,
really. I'm usually more interested in
fitting as much of the design on the paper
than I am about it looking pretty, but I
can't think that way any more. It's not
healthy for my folding :)
