Hexagon Quilt Along What is Next?

1/4/2017

3 Comments

 
For any of you who have been following along, I have put myself and a few other of my blog followers on a journey in 2016 to work on 52 weeks worth of hexagon blocks and I just photographed all of mine to get inspired as to a layout.  I am not sure what I want to do, but I am sharing a picture with you  below and any suggestions are welcome. Please comment below, I need suggestions for layout, colours for connecter fabrics and borders.

I could lay them out as they are above with grey triangles or white triangles to connect and applique it to a grey or white background (to create the borders or.......  Suggestions are welcome!

So the layout above is basically this

I could also simply do this

or be more elaborate and make a larger quilt?

A simple addition

I am thinking the connecting fabric needs to be a neutral and not so busy as to show off all my colourful and handpieced hexagons. What do you think?

Stay tuned and/or help me decide please!

​Have a great Wednesday! ⛄️

Looks beautiful Robin!
I would put the diamonds in between making them out of a black on black fabric.
That's my suggestion 😄

Option #1 (diamonds in between) or option #3 (spaces between hexies) and I think absolutely white background for either.
