Hexie Day

It's been quite a while since i posted about my progress with my Vignette Hexagon quilt. I'm pleased to say i've completed the flowers & have made a start on the embroidered "stepping stones".
I can't remember how many flowers the quilt needed but here is the stack of them.
Lovely flowers all in a row. :)
My start on the embroidery last night. I'd traced out 15 of the needed 59 stones ages ago. I think i got the leaves of 11 done last night. Still a long way to go.

Happy Stitching,
