How Many Hexies?

Over the last few evenings I've tacked and whip stitched about 200 three quarter inch hexies.  I have sewn them together in strips, and when I've sewn the strips together it will look like this

This isn't even half the full project as once the centre is filled in I'm adding borders in solid colours that match the dotty fabrics - a few more years' TV project me thinks.

At least it's growing - rather than the darn Northern Lights project which got unsewn yesterday and has been staring accusingly at me all day today, I need to do a lot of rethinking to get the effect I want
