It's been a while since I worked on my flower garden but I got my hexagons out on Friday last week. While I was stitching away I came up with the idea of stitching one a day throughout November. As it was already the 5th I had a little bit of catching up to do so I decided to concentrate on doing just that over the weekend. It's the 10th today and here are my 10 hexagons
Also at the weekend while I was on a roll I finished stitching the triangles and diamonds around one of the flowers and stitched the outer ring on another flower. I think I've added quite a bit of extra work with the diamond path but I think it's going to be so worthwhile and will look lovely in the purple fabric.
I may try and fit in stitching the outer ring on a couple of flowers each weekend as well, I'll have to see how it goes timewise. The more flowers I make, the more excited I get about seeing this quilt completed in these lovely fabrics and I could do with snuggling up beneath it at the moment as our weather has turned icy cold this week, definitely hat, scarf and glove weather - especially when watching a lot of sports outside! I did make a single klos on Saturday night as well but I forgot to photograph the poor little thing!
Wow, lovely flowers, great colors.

Your quilt is going to be beautiful when finished. This is the first time I've seen your hexis because I've just recently joined. Keep sewing and posting. I love pictures.

What a fantastic plan plan, Theresa!
I have been focused on my Klosjes, and haven't been making much progress with my hexies either. But I like your plan very much, and wish you lots of luck! Those diamonds just add an amazing sparkle to you quilt: totally worth it, Theresa!
