So you can see the true colour and detail of the fabric used, I snapped a close up. My original idea was to have a mix of hexagons as the center of the quilt and use the yellow and red polka-dot fabric as the border, but that was over three years ago and now I see things differently.
The new plan has the center of my Recipe for Friendship quilt looking like a very large hexagon flower, 34 inches to be exact. All the yellow polka-dot fabric is gone now, but I still have quite a bit of the red polka-dot and a solid red that can be added to the mix if need be.
Next up, a round of colourful hexagons!

Until next time.....happy quilting!

Happy Quilting to you too! It is such a joy of colours and prints, and hexagons, wow, you must finish it! I encourage you to make it as you planed it, it will look wonderful!
Such a happy flower garden all the colours are singing , gorgeous :-)
Wow a full box of hexies, and all so bright and beautiful. I like your hexagons with yellow and red polka-dot, looks so pretty.
Love your hexies.
Hi Karen - interesting how tastes & ideas can change when a project is something that takes ages to make... I will love to see how you progress it from here... I haven't done hexy's for a while now, but will get back into it soon, I promise!
Karen will the existing large flower be the focus of your new quilt or will you continue the same pattern throughout? I love all the bright colors in your hexie box!
