Flower Day
This is the way i decided to join my 1" hexagons. I chose a bone(?) colour as my joining hexagons. Kind of gives me a path but not. I haven't progressed very far since i last posted about my hexagons nor have i made anymore 1/2" & 1/4" hexagons. I worked out that with the 100 or so 1" hexagons i can sew them together 10 by 10. Be a lap size quilt by the time i've finished or a nice cover for a table. I'll have 4 over but if i add the ones i got for Christmas & make another 2 i can add another row to make it a bit longer. Just have to hope i have enough of the fabric i've used for the joining hexagons.
I think i've got 10 along the bottom & 9 in the next row.
This close up shot gives you a better idea of the colour i ended up using as the stepping stones. I'm happy with it so far. When i divided the flowers into colour piles i discovered i'd made far more greens than any other colour but there isn't any doubles. :)

Oh my is that going to be beautiful! I can't believe how many you have already. I think the bone colored fabric was a great choice as a connecting fabric. Beautiful!
Now that you've decided on a layout, it will be together before you know it.
The 'stepping stone' fabric shows your flowers of lovely.
That is so perfect, I love it! A very nice bone colour.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeanette, you do beautiful work.
Looks great!
This is looking great and would be beautiful as a table topper.
Hello there, Oh my gosh, Jeanette, your hexies project is soo lovely. What an idea with the :stepping stones: as you call them. What oretty colours. A terrific joy there lady. Very cold here in Nova Scotia this morning but it is clear skies FOR NOW. Blessings: Dianne.
Great select for your stepping stones. I like how they separate the flowers but not totally.
love the look of stepping stones
It is looking very nice, quite the accomplishment also, not to have any doubles.
It looks so lovely and the colours are realy nice.
I think it looks great Jeanette and your fabric choice is great for the stepping stones, I think I have had that fabric at one time .You are way ahead of me for sure .

I love the colour of the stepping stones! Very nice!

I like the bone color you chose...looks very nice! When I sorted my final flowers I ended up with way more blue than the others. Not sure if I have any duplicates. I'm right behind you in my quilt assembly. Progress feels great, huh!
Isn't is nice how different we all work? I like your stretched garden.
Happy stitching.
What a fantastic job, I love the bone colour between the flowers. Really enjoyed dropping by your blog & what a wonderful surprise to see you are from Ipswich..... I'm an old Brisbane girl (we lived in Wynnum North & moved south in 2002), my Dad lives at Rosewood. Anyhow, you have inspired me to get working on my flowers again LOL
Those stepping stones make your flowers look great. Thank you for visiting my blog.
