During the week ckcowl showed us her lovely grandma's flower garden table runnerand I asked her a few questions as I have been working on my "hexagon" experiment for far too and need to make decisions about how I am going to finish them off. Here are some of my flowers - I have 12 of them finished

And I have this idea to attach them to a 15" block then add sashing between the blocks - something like in the photo below - the fabric is only an example not what I intend using in the final product.

So I am asking all the hexagon experts do you think that my idea of appliquing the large flowers onto a background block then putting sashing between the blocks will work.
I am open to all suggestions and ideas as to how to go about this please.

Love your hexies. They are beautiful. In my opinion, if you put a sashing between them, I would make the sashing half the width you have laid out. I think going with a thinner sashing would make the flowers pop more. I feel with the wider sashing would take away from the flowers.

This is a picture of one my MIL made in the 70s. I currently recreating it using pale green background and darker green trellis hexes.
This is a different setting than I've seen anywhere else and I really like it.
