After I set in one of the bigger hexie "flowers" - the six-jewel "flower" with hexagons set in around the edges - I noticed I'd somehow placed it wrong. Stitched around sixteen different hexie edges without noticing until the whole thing was in. It's the one with the orange center at the bottom left. The pinks are supposed to alternate, mimicking the pattern in the original-original, as shared by Jodi.
I think I'm going to set in all twelve, then decide if I want to change it back to the way I originally wanted it or leave it in like one of the "humility blocks" of yore. I'm leaning toward the former, I think I like the flow better that way. And those pink Riley Blake dots right next to the Kona Valentine are playing a little too dominant to my eye. I don't want the pink to be overwhelming. Maybe once the ring is complete, I'll share a pic and take an informal poll before I pick the stitches out.
I think I've also figured out how and at what stage I want to finish this top, so I hope to post some about that, since it'll involve some jury-rigging of different shapes with the Jaybird rulers.
