Back in January, yes - January!, I started playing around with a piece of cyano print my friend, Bonnie sent me. Had a decent start but then got sidetracked with knitting...go figure!
I played with it on and off starting around the summer. I cut the piece apart and inserted some red fabric.
Then I got the crazy idea to add some hex pieces...why? Why not! HA I don't honestly know why I deceided to add the hex pieces...I would make some when I wasn't knitting or frustrated by the knitting is more the truth! HA
You can see all the different ways I was trying to get the hexes into this piece here!
I had stitched hexes onto the main fabric seam but needed to decide how to attach them to a border.
I took some fusible web and place behind the hexes
and then just fused them onto a border.
After they were fused, I added batting and and backing. Then I machine stitched around the hexes on all sides.
I did the same for each border....
I know the blue border blends in with the blue hexes but gives it a disjointed look! HA
I started to do some hand stab stitching around the leaves.
I tried stab stitching around the edges of the leaves but I didn't like that. So, I ripped it out and just stitched around the leaves filling in blank areas. So this is what it will be.
I may free motion some of the leaves...who knows...I may finish before next year!
Now for my sister and I to try and find another knitting pattern to work on this winter!!
