I will surely post something when I'm done with it, if not before (to get ideas on what to do). The main problem, which I didn't see when I first looked at the fabric, is that the background color is very drab. I'm thinking about doing applique on the top after it's pieced, and maybe not using the hexagons with the rest of the fabric but doing something that will mix this fabric up with others. I need to let the thoughts gel for a while before proceeding, but I will finish it somehow. For applique I might use a Japanese theme, such as pagodas, geisha, fans, etc. or a garden theme such as trellis, flowers... It could be silhouette or color...

Here's the fabric and the current state of the design wall (keep in mind the hexagons are only half-hexagons at this stage, and taped together then stuck on the wall so it looks a mess). If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them.
