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.

    Sounds like a lot of hexies, but then you are cutting them all at once. I guess if you were cutting as you constructed them it wouldn't feel so bad. You are using some pretty fabrics there.

    You will be soooo pleased with it when you have them all done and it will be fun watching them come together! I love hexies - in the process of making a table cloth that I'm hoping to have the centres for each flower with hexies made by other friends and bloggers with their names, blogs and towns on to make it interesting
