    I love scrappy so I think it would look great! cant wait to see the finished product. I've been working on one for a year and its scrappy and very little progess, I hate hand work.

    I'm making mine with scrappy flowers; the path is one color.

    It will work well. Every flower should be different.

    That's pretty much what I am doing but coordinating in each flower. I have 42 out of 44 full flowers done...It actually goes a lot faster than you think it will once you get going! It's addictive!

    I bought some paper templates at the quilt expo. I'm told I don't have to cut hexagons, just strips, fold the fabric over the template, baste, sew together and pop out the template. Hope it is as simple as it sounds.

    actually it is! I cut my own templates and pin on my 2 1/2 inch square (or so). I do a quick cut around with small scissors so I don't have too large a seam allowance/bulk and that they are fairly consistent. Then I whip stitch/baste and they are good to go!

    I dont pin mine either, nor do I cut hexagons. Just use squares. Its so easy. :)

    I'm doing a scrappy one too.. actually a few scrappies. :) Don't worry about it, just have fun.

    yep, they're small. 3/8"

    Hi, I think scrappy would be excellent... there are not rules saying it has to be the traditional. I am working on one myself, using medium to light florals and solids... I plan to do the path in white... I will take some pictures of what flowers I have made so far.. It is a fun project and one you can take along anywhere to work on.
