It's a Flimsy!

Yes, finally my Hexathon Quilt is a flimsy with all four borders now added. Whew! And it is big! Must admit I had not realised quite how big. Anyway, due to the prevailing weather conditions - ie very cold, grey and damp, I have had difficulty in getting a decent photograph. So my apologies for this poorly lit, squashed up picture - I will post a decent one as soon as I can get outside.


There is some pressing to do too!

What had escaped my notice was that the bottom left corner would be completely bare!  I shall have to put on my thinking cap to come up with something to fill that space.





I have two spare large hexagons but I think one of them would be too big. On the other hand I think that it needs more than just another small hexagon.

In other news, I have completed one set of swap hexagons for December - yes, the December list for one group came out early!




I also have my November RSC tumbling blocks complete. There was no specific colour for November just the suggestion that we used something dark. So I chose brown as my brown box is quite full.




I am linking up with Anthea at Hibiscus Stitches for Piece Yourself Together. Thank you Anthea.

    Oh wow Lin, your Hexathon looks wonderful, congratulations! I'm keen to see it in full, when you get some better weather for a photo.
    I think I need to join in that RSC next year; I have heaps of bits & pieces that I could use.

    It will be hard to get a photo in this weather. Good luck, because you deserve a chance to show it off properly!

    Wow, that quilt top is outstanding! I really like how the bright colors pop against the background that you chose. As always, it's fun to see what hexies you are creating.
    Happy stitching,
    Judy
