I did a GFG with a sort of star in the center of each hexagon, using embrodery floss. The stitch I used was just a stright stitch for each "arm" of the star, and I went between the back and front (into the batting) to go to the next "arm" It looked much the same on the front and back. I especially liked the back, because I used different colored floss and a white back. I was very pleased with the look, and will do it again on the diamond hexagon I am working on now. The book that Tashana mentioned in her post above looks very interesting. I will be looking into a possable purchase.
