Make a small knot and anchor it with a couple of small stitches in the seam allowance of your center hexagon, bring the needle up through the corner of the hexagon (Pic 7a)

Place one of your hexagons from the 1st round against the center hexagon (right sides together) Pic 7b)

Whip stitch the two pieces together, taking only small bites of the fabric, holding the two hexagons together so they keep a good match Ie. Don’t let the action of sewing distort the placement of the hexagons. (Pic 7c,d)

When you reach the end of the seam fasten off the thread in the seam allowance, being careful not to catch the basting thread.

Finished first join, front & back (Pic 8a,b)
