Picture of a WIP that I started this morning.
#1
Here we have a hexagon that is reminiscent of the Victorian Flower Garden, that I was working up to see if it was something I could run with. I think it will work out. I plan to use the beige background all around the center color piece and black trim to set off each "pedal", and change the color of each center piece. The finished size of each "pedal" is 4" so it makes for an overall flower size of 13" each way. Kind of dramatically big for that particular Pattern, but I kind of like it. Maybe for a child's bed quilt, or an adult with modern tastes lap robe. Wachathink? This whole thing came about when I started organizing my stash, after hearing "comments" from some of you about the messiness of my stash area. That led to this idea for eating up large amounts of solid color fabric. See. I do pay attention you your comments.

Very interesting. It will really define the flowers.
Are you doing this by hand or machine?????
eta: so if each flower is framed by black - will you have diamonds each framed flower, will you have diamonds between the black frames, or will the flowers all nest?

Glad to see a male quilter,welcome. How about a beautiful table cloth. You just gave me an idea for a patio table. Did you have a pattern or just used your creative skills? I like the idea.
