  3. those monkeys will be so cute joining the group! gosh hard to choose a color. Lime green? Kidding. I like the light blue, but the dark is pretty too. Love those fun mug rugs, what a terrific swap! & sorry about the unwanted blog posts, never had that happen to me before

  7. love seeing all those pretty flowers together. I like the light blue stepping stones. Good luck with choosing I know that is going to be the hardest part of putting mine together too. cute cheeky monkeys and your mug rugs look lovely.
    Is it unwanted comments you wish to delete? I think you can block unwanted visitors too. I will have a look in blogger, I am sure I have seen it somewhere?

  8. Maria, what a gorgeous collection of flowers! I think the darker blue or the white shows off the personality of the hexy flowers to their best. I am smiling so big to see them all together. I have some ideas re the unwanted reading list posts, but will email you about it.

  9. Your hexies look fabulous. Since working on Easy Street I am going to start using a lot more black on white prints for my backgrounds. It just looks so smart and I think you should try it with all of the colors in the hexies.

    Glad you liked the mug rug. I loved yours too.

  10. Oh--MY--I guess I got aloooot of catching up to do--I do have some basted and hope to start stitching them together tonight!! I did order the regular paper piecing cut outs and I love love them--for the other hexies I had printed off the design onto freezer paper and then cut them apart and ironed them on the back of the fabrics---
    but these that are stiffer paper and all cut the same size are much easier to work with so am having a good time!!!
    I have to confuse --it is hard to tell which background is right as you put different hexies on each color--but I say the lighter blue one--at least it looks nice and makes that group pop so to say--
    Hummm--this is really a hard one--
    I love the mug rugs--does that help?????

  11. I think I like the darker blue stepping stones the best. And both of the mugrugs are adorable!!

  12. I'd have to go light blue too - but as Di &Miss G said - the hexies you used might influence the choice. I'm sure whatever you pick will look great all over.

  13. I'm not one for white, but I like what I see, it makes the flowers pop. Not so fond of the pale blue, but really like the dark blue!

  14. Love both the mug rugs. The hexies look so good. I'm not much help - I cant decide which colour you should choose. With the blocks you have there I like the dark blue, but wonder how it will be with other darker coloured blocks.

  15. The hexies look great but I'm also undecided which looks best, sorry not much help here either. Nice mug rugs.

  19. It doesn't look like we are much help with your colour selection. Personally, I like the dark blue background. You will just have to make the decision knowing that whatever you choose will look good.

  20. All of your hexies look fantastic - it's going to be a wonderful quilt.

  21. Cute hexies. I like the white best. The hexies really seem to stand out on that, or maybe cream? They will look good on whatever background :)
