3/4" Grandmother's Flower Garden

I'm making progress with the hexie table runner using 3/4" hexies. Last week I finished 2 flowers that the center and middle row were completed before.

I selected this teal floral fabric because I thought those pink flowers worked well with the pink row.

The orange and pink row of the next flower is rather weird. I apparently only had 4 of those brownish/pink hexies prepped so I added them this way. That row looks rather off balance when you look closely at it. 

If this table runner survives 100 years, that's the flower people will look at and make comments about the originality of the sewest.

Have a blessed Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour.

I love the hexies even the one with brown. Looks like a clock. Yes Christmas is really for deep reflections and celebrating our Baby Jesus being born. We had a great day. Very peaceful. Hugs.

Very fun hexie blocks. You made do and added interest with the different fabrics in the second block. Hope your holiday was wonderful and you've had more time for stitching afterwards.
