I think you join only half hexes together in columns and then join the columns together, otherwise you’ll have to join the full hexes together with Y seams.
I absolutely agree! It's so much easier to join the half hexies in a horizontal row to avoid the complicated y seams. And then you sew the rows together in such a way that the right halves come together. Krista Moser demonstrates the technique very convincingly. I've recently learned that from her tutorials. But thank you so much for presenting a great colour choice and this interesting pattern. This quilt is so beautiful ❤️.
Thank you for spotting this! You're right, as per the pattern you assemble the half hexagons in lines to create the full quilt. We're sorry this this wasn't clear in the tutorial.

Love this! But as said previously I think half hexagons would be easier to use, joining in strips and then forming whole hexagons when the strips are joined.

If you stagger the strips when sewing the stripset, its possible to gain another cut. I made one similar, using Krista Moser's pattern. Make half hexies and join in rows, then join the rows matching the halves.
Sewed my first 3 strips and I got 10 - 6.5” triangles out of my Ruby Star Koi Pond strips but I messed up and put my dark navy strip on the outside. So i have 5 “pie slices” with navy in the center and 5 pie slices with navy on the outside 😣😣😣 Edited: Turns out not to be a big deal. I have just a couple more hexagons to make.
This quilt is put together by sewing the half hexies together in rows and making the full hexies by sewing the rows together. That way there are no y seams and it goes together very easily.

If you have a ruler with the 45° and 60° lines on it you can check but I don’t think the strip tube ruler is a 60° triangle I have both and I don’t think they’re the same.
