For the next round I'll need twelve hexagons from two different hexagons patterns. I decided to do the first six and then I'll make my fabric selection for the second six . I decided to repeat the fabric I used in the centre and to it I added a pale print with pale peach overtones and the same batik I used in Round 1. I just can't get the colours in the batik to photograph accurately. The green is actually more olive and is not as bright as it appears.
These are the six hexagons stitched together but not stitched to the centre. I'll select my fabric for the next six hexagons, make them and the sew everything together into one big happy rosette! You'll notice that I fussy cut the coral diamonds so that there is a dark motif in the centre. I think I'll fussy cut this same fabric but centre a light motif in each.
Just a little bit of hexagon sewing to go on Lozagons and then it will be finished aside from the border. I'll try to take a picture when the wind dies down!
Until I post again, happy sewing!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!! Your fabric choices are always so right!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Karen. What precision!
ReplyDeleteYou are so far ahead of me. I've opened my package of the papers, yes, that's where I am. But I'm almost done with my next circle and am working on other things, but can I just say that I am jealous that you are this far? And can I just say you are inspiring me to get going? Love this!
