More hexagons

Nearly gave up on this one - the individual hexagons took forever to cut -but evenutally they were all pinned in place
and then held down by little cross-stitches, some yellow, some orange -
At last, time to put it under the machine -
Then, french knots added to intersections where there weren't already cross-stitches:
Finally, the narrowest binding possible, 1/4" of doubled black sheer. Next time, I'll add a layer of tulle before machining. But as this was so fiddly, a "next time" is in doubt!

  1. An interesting take on hexagons (I'm doing a traditional one by hand - heaven knows why LOL)

  2. Very pretty, very effective, though.

  3. Beautiful! And a great idea.

    It looks like waterlily leaves in a pond. Is that what you intended, or a happy "accident"? I love it.

  4. It looked pretty good with just the cross stitches, but then, it just got better and better.
