A few weeks ago, I was browsing around the internet looking to see if there were any active stitch alongs that I wanted to join, when I ran across the Honeycomb Stitch Along by Echinops and Aster. It's an old stitch along from 2013 but I really loved the design so I decided to make it anyway. I told my sister, Laurel, about it and she decided to join me so I'm still stitching along with someone, yay!
I'm planning on putting it in my front room. Which has a neutral color palette and currently I have a pop of green going on in there. I had a leftover piece of green, black, white, and grey polka dot fabric from some St. Patrick's Day skirts I made for the girls in 2012 so I decided to use that as the start of my color palette for the pillow. I was just going to use stash fabric but I didn't have anything in the right shade of green and so off to the fabric store I went.

I think I'm going to use the bee toile for the middle panel, the green fabrics for the hexagons, the black for the frame and the binding, and all the fabrics except the toile for the patchwork. I love that this pattern lets you use all different kinds of sewing skills and I've never made hexagons before so I'm really excited to learn a new skill as well!
