I had a hiccup when I started though. I did not do the hexie download properly and my hexes turned out to be too small. I had already cut and basted the pieces. Oh well, it is fixed now and I have everything correct and as it should be.

My Soupçon Progress!
Karen from faeriesandfibres.blogspot.com has the most wonderful sew-a-long. She posts clues every two weeks for a medallion style wall hanging. She offers so much support though. Examples of others work, tutorials and explains things so well.

Here are the correct size pieces which I needed!
All basted with no tails sticking out at the top!
I'm happy with the effect the fabric gives the rosette!
I spent a fair amount of time auditioning background fabrics. I like this one!
One of the corners has its embroidery done. I used three different strands of color and combined them to make the flower. I like how it turned out. I am also using a variegated floss for the leaves. I have really enjoyed this project so far. Give it a try! Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Chantal - your block is so pretty and I can't wait until it is finished and posted on FLICKR. I love the green fabric with little pops of turquoise - it is jewel-like! I too spend more time auditioning background fabrics but it is fun to see the effects of different fabrics and it gives me great ideas for colour combinations that I might otherwise not have considered.
