LA ROSETTE

My first Rosette is finished and my fingers hate me  : )   The New Hexagon Millefiorie Quilt Along has exploded this past month to over 1600 hexie lovers signed up to stitch along, and over 1000 stitchers joining the Facebook page in about 2 1/2 weeks. Wow.

It's all so very fun!

This is the first and biggest rosette measuring 37" at the widest point.

I didn't think too much about colour until I got to the outer edge. I couldn't decide on what to put there until I found this teal dot in my stash. It seemed to work. I need to consider what block will be up against it and plan from there

The little corners lined up pretty good so I'm happy about that

I took myself out for a little retail therapy and came home with these pretties.

Indelible has been on my 'want' list for a long time.  The top piece is called 'Cherie'.  Love.

I'm hoping to be able to incorporate these into a rosette or two and I think I just might pull it off  : )

Instructions for Rosette #2 will be posted on the first of February.  Bring. It. On.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?

  Thanks to everyone who entered the give-away for the book 'The New Hexagon".  The first name the random number generator picked was Sharon. Amazingly enough, she won over at Linda's blog too.  Can you believe that?  She graciously told me I could choose another name and that was .......

I have sent you an e-mail  and you will soon be making a pile of hexies all your own  : )

I replied to everyone that I could. If you didn't hear back from me, you are a no-reply blogger. I tried--I really did   : )
