Honeycomb Stitch Along - Fabric Selection Part 2

One of my 15 Projects goals is to complete my Honeycomb Stitch Along pillow.  Well apparently completing it means starting over with a new fabric selection.  While I was at JoAnn yesterday, while browsing the fabric selection, I came across some fabrics I really liked.  After a little bit, I had pulled a whole matching set of fabrics and then I just had to buy them.

The DMC floss colors are ones I pulled from my stash so they aren't all perfect matches.  The numbers are 336, Ecru, 3347, 743, and 3810 for anyone who is interested. I bought plenty of fabric, half yard of each, so I'm sure after I'm done with the Honeycomb Pillow that I'll be able to use it for more throw pillows or whatever else strikes my fancy. I think this will be a good way to get more colors other than green into my front room decor.

Honeycomb Stitch Along - Fabric Selection

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!
