HEXAGON FRIDAY

This is the completed centre of the quilt.  I could stop here, but I want to add the border units as well!
The border units use a different fabric for the centres, and have two different tones of cream/beige/fawn as the fill-in areas.  These units also touch - a first in this pattern.
This shows the placement on the side of the quilt.  There will be a dark border as well, although I haven't decided if I will make another row of hexagons, or applique the edge to a regular straight border strip.  I'll wait until I reach that point to decide.
This picture was taken without the flash - neither shows the true colours of the quilt!


I'm already wondering how I'll quilt this when it is completed.....

  3. Susan, it's *so* lovely! You've really done a great job. As for the quilting, deciding on motifs/designs is always a head-scratcher for me. ;)
