Rosette #1 for The New Hexagon Millefiore Quilt-Along
stephiepeterson:
First Hexie of Row 2, Rosette 1 of Millefiore Quilt.
stephiepeterson:
Round1 of Rosette 1 complete.
stephiepeterson:
Round 2 of Rosette 1 complete. I wanted some darker fabrics to "ground" it. I think I accomplished that. I hope I did not get it too dark. I wanted this to stay bright. Next round needs to be bright again. I wanted to get some full deer heads in this bloc
stephiepeterson:
Almost ready to start stitching Round 3 of Rosette 1. Have one more set of diamonds to cut first, but it is getting late, and I am worried I will cut myself if I cut when I am this tired. Had a couple of close calls. So, it's off to bed. #thenewhexagon #t
stephiepeterson:
Where I am going next with Millefiore. I don't know. Is that outer ring with the stripe too strong? I really wanted to use that fabric but now I am unsure about how it plays with the rest. #thenewhexagon #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Finished Rosette #1 of Millefiore quilt. Whew! That took a long time to piece that last round and to attach it. Now to choose fabric for Rosette #2. #thenewhexagon #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong

Napkin' hexies for round 2 of Rosette 2. #thenewhexagon #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Round 2 of Rosette 2 complete. My husband said he really likes the raccoons peeking out. Now to piece Round 3. I have it all cut out and glue basted. Dark purples, greens, and coral. #thenewhexagon #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong

Starting Round 3 of Rosette 2! #thenewhexagon #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Finished Rosette #2 of my Millefiore quilt. Can't wait to start Rosette #3! #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
I couldn't help it. The little buggers just glommed themselves on. I wonder what's next! #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
My center start for Rosette #3. I had intended for this rosette to be green and blue. It's weird how this project is just taking me where it wants to go. Eventually I will have a blue/green one. Lol. #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalon
stephiepeterson:
I guess they decided to shoot out some ink... #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
The beginning of Round 2 of Rosette 3. The birds, whales, clams, and starfish came out to play. #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Working on more hexies for Round 2 of Rosette 3. I might have lied about these being quicker to pieces @liveacolorfullife There are a lot of little pieces in this block.
stephiepeterson:
Oops. Well, crap. How did that happen? 😝. #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
The rest of Round 3 is cut and basted. #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
I took a break from editing student papers to do a little piecing. Finished one hexie for Round 3 of Rosette 3. There is only one of this one in this round. I find Round 3 and on hard to do, because the hexies are offset from each other. It is harder for
stephiepeterson:
Five more of these to go to complete Round 3 of Rosette 3. #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Here is where I am heading with Round 2 of Rosette 3. The stag has made another appearance! I would not have thought to add the grayish purple, but my daughter Elsa said it needed purple, because she saw purple in the dark and light grays in the fabrics
stephiepeterson:
And so begins Rosette 4...we will see where it takes me. #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Laid out the first three rosettes in their approximate locations on my design floor. Sorry for the shadows and poor lighting (and crappy carpet--man, we need new carpet!). I was really worried how Rosette 3 (too) would play with Rosette 1 (middle), as I h
stephiepeterson:
Rosette 3 of #thenewhexagonmillefiorequiltalong is complete! Why did it take me so long to get back to those last two components?! Not sure. Moving on to Rosette 4 now! #millefiorequiltalong
stephiepeterson:
Finished the last two hexagons for Rosette 3 for #thenewhexagonmillefiore project after quite a long hiatus. Now to see these into the rosette so I can proceed to Rosette 4. My fabric selection is a little bit random for these. I hope they "fit" okay. I f
stephiepeterson:
Round 2 is Rosette 4 complete. I am glad Elsa talked me into the purple. I will keep incorporating it into the rosette. That might be the end of the blue and green rosette I was shooting for! Lol. I think more blue will show up, too. #thenewhexagon #then
stephiepeterson:
One of the two types of hexie said that will go in Round 3 of Rosette 2. I didn't mean for the stag to reappear...wanted the bees/dragonflies...but I didn't have enough of that. Hope it won't be too much with the stags. Now to figure out the alternating h
