Hexagon 26 Finished

This is hexagon number 26.  A little too bright for my normal taste but I need to have an even mix of brights and pastels in this quilt in order to have some contrast.  I went back to something that I haven't done for ages, in fact I can't remember the last time I made a button trail but this block seemed to call out for one. The crochet lace and the green embroidery under the red flower is a chunk cut from an old doily I think it fits that corner quite well. I finished this one yesterday in the hospital.  Today Eddie wants me to bring the circle of 19 hexies and the seven finished individual ones and start stitching the next row around the circles - I think he wants to be part of the process of choosing which hexie goes where so that the colours of the borders look good together. I love it when he wants to be part of the process - it's his journey more than it is mine.........
