Trying to decide!

I am soon to finish the hexagon part of this quilt, which I started in 1998!

Now to find a fabric to use to square up the outside.

I don't want the irregular hexagon edges!

Some fabrics which I am considering may be too "modern" for the traditional look, but there are no "Quilt Police" ...so if I like the fabric I may use it! Stay happy, have fun!

Testing on my living room carpet and counting on the photos to help me choose!

 

First try pink...little circular pink flowers with green stems....just matches the green between the rosettes.

 

 

Then green..

Then blue with yellow flowers...

 

I think I am leaning towards the pink, as I have plenty of it....and of course, I am a "pink" person!

Especially this time of year! February.

Now to make the last 6 rosettes..I have several started..this could still take a long time! LOL!

Hexagon quilt



A beautiful sunny morning after a stormy night...so much rain this spring!

Mom is sewing down the binding on this small quilt. I pieced the quilt last spring.

It is machine quilted in the idtch around the blocks and "big stitch" quilted with pearl cotton in the hexagons.
