And I agree with you, at times, I don't like being finished with a piece of work..my hex horses were that way for me! I guess we just enjoy working on the piece so much...<br />Why can't you just put a 'border' of fabric (or even hexes) to Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506964994589004458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568883822508380204.post-1470683042304754242017-07-30T08:52:37.522-04:002017-07-30T08:52:37.522-04:00What about red to match the center?

I can't begin to give any thoughts about any technical work but I see a color for your background. Blue would be my thinking but of course I am going through my blue phase right now. It seems too that the blue that is in the middle would appear to be restarting the kaleidoscope affect of the hexies. Love this piece. It would become my Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568883822508380204.post-90870163427653477142017-07-30T06:49:10.626-04:002017-07-30T06:49:10.626-04:00If you want to do it all by hand...

Leave it basted, (except for where you need to break stitches for the applique) and hand quilt. Not sure about the background color. I think it depends on which colors you want to draw out- red, blue, orange, black....

[my first visit, from the Quilt Rat] so please excuse any ignorance about this fantastic work!!! A handdye would work nicely with it, and still let quilting show up.<br /> <br />Blue might work too, though it would stand out more. <br /><br /> You could hide a seam right down the middle, Vicky aka Stichrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398784887410187456noreply@blogger.com
