Sashed half hexi?

[KPH]

I've been thinking about the sashed half hexi and how it's made.

Here's my question- Could you start your braid and go beyond the 6 blocks, just keep going until you have a longer length and then cut your squares? It seems like there would be less waste.

My goal is to make a queen sized quilt. I have two layer cakes.

Do you think that will be enough fabric?

Anybody that's made it?

I'm pretty sure you can make the braid as long as you'd like. But calculating whether or not two layer cakes = queensize is beyond my math skills...
