    I think white would be beautiful, but of course that is your choice. Have you considered making some larger hexies also?

    I love those colors just as they are. Now you have my hexie fingers itching, may have to make a few.

    Wow,Bubby pretty colors,are you going to put a color in between when you join the flowers together.So far I only have 34 flowers,just waiting for some more fabric I ordered.We do a bit of caravaning,at least I have something to occupy me doing the hexies,by hand of course.

    Very pretty! Glad you've come to your senses. Were you trying to torture yourself????? Hahahaha! A tablerunner sounds like a fine plan or even a tabletopper would be lovely. I could easily see it as a round topper! I'd probably sew non-fusible interfacing to the face, turn it and then applique it to a circular background fabric, then quit and bind it. I need to keep that in mind when I attempt hexies. Love all those reds, blacks and grays!!!!

    Barb - yours are lovely as well. Are they the same size as Lauthala's? What's your plan for them?

    I think I'll do something free-form and untraditional. My hexies are pretty wild and probably would benefit from a lot of white, but I think I'll go in a different direction. I love making these but my right had is getting a little stiff so I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do all the hand sewing. I love your hexies!!!

    Rebecca....My hexiesare 1" and I think they are the same size as hers. At the rate I'm going I have plenty of time to decide what to do with mine. They will definitely be a quilt but most likely a SMALL quilt...lol! Hugs....Barb
