Do you ever wonder what the back looks like? Here is my Victorian project in progress. I finished embroidering the individual triangles and joined them this morning. It's not pressed yet. And I will wait to trim the outside border until just before I bind it.
One of the three challenge fabrics was a large floral print. I planned from the beginning to fussy cut one of the motifs and applique a hexagon to the center. It was silly to get it ready ahead of time. Too big! I'll have to cut it down and try again if I don't want to cover up too much of the work already done.
Once I settle the hexagon question, I'll be ready to layer and add a bit more stitching. I'm not sure yet how I am going to handle the six main seams. Any suggestions?

fussy cut out the floral portion instead of using the entire hexagon>

Thanks, Katherine. Before I heard from you I had tested different size hexagons and just decided to make a smaller one. It will be appliqued on today!
