Hexagon Wall Hanging!

We will be moving next month!  We are leaving Texas for New Hampshire.  I am beyond excited by this new adventure.  We have bought a new home and I can't wait to decorate it.  We have been in our current home for 15 years.  The kids have finished school and are either graduated or in college.  So... my husband and I thought it was just the right time for another adventure.
With that being said, of course I need to make a quilt for the new place.  I had started these rosettes a couple of years ago, loved them, but did not know what to do with them exactly.  I just know my dining room in the new house would benefit by a wall hanging of these yummy rosettes.  So I decided on my background fabric - Moda Cherry.  So pretty and full of energy.   I have been making more rosettes!
 Striped fabric is the theme for this quilt.  I love how the stripes give you secondary hexagon shapes within the rosette.
A few of them are not from striped fabric, but also fussy cut.
Here is the beginning of the wall hanging.  I am not sure how wide to make it.  So far I have five in a row.  I may add a sixth one.  I am loving making these again.  I will continue to show the progress on this project.  Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

  1. Wow - that's quite a move up to the snowy north!! LOL. I hope everything goes super smoothly. Your wall hanging looks great so far - love that cherry color and all the striped fabrics. I should do that sometime as I have a "thing" for striped fabrics...
