I did discover the drawback to attempting to freehand your own template for making hexagons for a hexagon quilt:
If you're a dumbass who doesn't know the difference between a hexagon, say, and an octagon.
*facepalm*

Fortunately I'd only cut out a few templates, and no fabric.

A hint: Hexagons have six sides!

Consider . . . an octagon-and-square quilt . . . :D

I thought to myself, "there's got to be a way to get these to work" and then I was like "argh the POINT of this was that I don't have to ENGINEER anything" and then I was delighted to discover that I could fit the hexagon template I finally broke down and downloaded onto the octagons and just... trim them.
but for the future, perhaps; that could be pretty neat.

Give yourself credit for catching it before you cut the fabric!

oh I do, I get ALL the credit!

now i'm just gonna scavenger around my house to find fabric I can cut out so I can make a bunch of these and decide what to do with them.
