How Many Hexagons?

As you know, I have been starting to cut out my Tilda fabric into 2" hexagons. I am planning to just have random hexagons, not flowers. Because of this, I need 

to cut out all my fabrics first.

But how many hexagons do I need?

I found this great Hexagon Calculator at CD Designs by Cindy. You just need to enter the height and width you want the quilt to be and then what size hexagons. I was thinking of making my quilt 60" x 60" so I'll need 345 hexagons! So far I have cut out 272 but as I still have quite a few different fabrics, I may make the quilt bigger. 

I'll recalculate once I cut out the fabrics.

Just Because I Could!

Yesterday I went to the Sit and Sew at The Quilt Shop with Annie and some of the other girls. I planned to get some of their pre-cut papers and add a couple more Tilda fabrics to my collection and then I was going to work on my stitchery. The lovely Allison informed me they had a Go Cutter 

with a large hexagon die. 

 So what was a girl to do? 

 Start cutting out hexagons, of course! 

In no time at all I had 96 hexagons cut out. It really wasn't my plan to start this quilt yet and it's going to be a long term project. I'll do some more cutting next week!
