I doubt very much that this will stay like this. I'm not sure yet but the hexagon shapes may go and be replaced by a hexagon edge or squares of hexagons as opposed to flowers. It all looks a little contrived to me.
For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

I like the idea of a hexagon edging
If the light with you is anything like we had at the weekend, you've done a wonderful job!
The photography issue s so depressing. Grey grey dull...you've done ok. They look great.
Your work is lovely! as usual... I hope you get some sunshine. ENJOY!
They look gorgeous, don't throw these out! I just love the little hexagons!

Just love the hexagon edging ...love Jan xx
I call this 'auditioning' as you move things and rearrange until they fall into place. It's a lot like trying out for play!
