Hmm. There is so much space to work in my sewing/project room that I hardly know where to start. I have to keep reminding myself that starting something new is not an option.
These hexagons blocks have been my leader & ender project, but had taken over the design wall so much that I couldn't reach to put up any more. I thought I probably had enough to starting finishing it up. But then when I looked better at the design I realized a 3 x 3 layout was not going to work because the blocks are offset from each other.

| Testing the layout. |
So I came at the problem from another direction and narrowed down the colors to red, yellow, blue, and green. (I'll save the turquoise and oranges for another quilt.) This "problem" of a layout actually worked out well. Since the center hexagons for this project had been found in a bag of precuts I was working with what I had and sometimes I didn't have 6 of the same or coordinating hexagons. Now that I need a group of only 4 for the sides I can use up even more. There were enough in this narrowed down color scheme so I moved forward with the new plan.

| Reading for setting triangles. |
Since I was not leader & endering the last few went together quickly. I will do the math on the triangles and hopefully get ths off the floor soon. I am sure enjoying having my floor space back.
Linking up to s

That is a great quilt! I liked looking at your novelty fabric... I have (had?) the Winnie the Pooh fabric. (The one you had 4 pieces.) All of them are so cute. I think your plan will work out well. Have you decided on the triangle colors? Lots of decisions still to make but you are well on the way! Keep going.
