I got all the blocks made, begun putting the sashing in and, when finished, I didn't like the way it looked. But I took it and had a longarmer baste it as I had grand plans to hand quilt. That will never happen so one day I need to get it back out and re-evaluate what I want to do..just have it quilted or take the sashing out and redo that. Maybe when I lay eyes on it again, it won't look as bad. But maybe it will!!

Hex...Gorgeous Kyle - I love the fussy cut diamonds! Hexagon edges (with hand stitching) are a bit of a head-scratcher but you came up with a good solution. Quite apart from the trauma of cutting through all the pretty piecing, if you cut through hand stitching I always fear the seams coming unravelled. Maybe a border sewn on with very small machine stitches would hold it?
