My Own Millefiori

 After three years, I finally finished my New Hexagon Millefiori. I probably wouldn't have finished it if I hadn't had Cathy encouraging me. The more I saw millefioris being finished, the more determined I was.

On July 17, 2018 I finished piecing the top. Paul was driving and we were traveling over Snoqualmie Pass when I slipped the last stitch. 


At this stage, I began thinking of a border. I didn't like any of the borders I had seen thus far. In a Facebook post, I saw a spiky border that was inspiring. I sketched out a paper piece pattern that would work. The corners were the trickiest. I cheated on the sides by making a larger black triangle in the center of each to make the math work.
