Sorry, that took longer than I thought...Here are some examples of what I was trying to communicate earlier about QAYG framed hexagons. I did do an "Amish" hexie flowers<not framed> with black hexies around all the flowers for an ROTC raffle that turned out beautifully, but I did not save a picture of it.
You could always applique the flowers in the middle of the QAYG blocks. If there are silk flowers in the stash, if you applique, it will hold up as appliqued.
framed hexies with sewing machine stitches, I prefer the yellow one
