A plethora of hexagon rosettes for Birds

Who's been a busy quilt maker? Me! I've made a plethora of red  rosettes for my hexagon quilt Birds in the Loft! The rosettes are made with 1" hexagons.








I've also made some less vibrant rosettes - I think I need them to help the bolder rosettes shine!




Sine they are made in pairs that is eighteen rosettes that are stitched! I still have a pile to go but they are going quickly!

As I make my rosettes I've been adding my path fabric so that once I've made all of my rosettes I can sort them into two identical piles, number then and then start stitching them into rows! Can't wait!

I'm in the process of making the second rosette design for the border and so far I am happy with the with what I'm seeing. I need to pull six more fabrics. When I've selected them I will make six more test rosettes and I'll share the fruits of my labours!

Hope you are enjoying your Easter weekend! Until I post again, happy sewing!
