+   :align: center
+
+These are basic geometrical shapes for English Paper Piecing.
+
+Hexagons
+--------
+
+The classic 1 inch hexagon patterh, including border pieces to get a
+rectangular object: :download:`epp_hexagons.svg`
+
+And the corresponding cutting patter with half-inch allowance
+:download:`epp_hexagons_cut.svg`; note that only the hexagons are
+marked, and you would have to measure yourself the allowance on any
+border piece.
