Well...
It's after Christmas!!
When it came down to it, I realized that just didn't have enough of the stash fabrics I had picked for this project. My original plan had been to use an olive green in part of the project since I knew there was not enough of the neutral. But when I realized that the medium brown was only a FQ and also probably not enough, I started looking for different fabrics. It's a good thing (or is it bad??) that my LQS pays me in fabric!!

| It's really hard to see the oliv-y green across the bottom but it's a gorgeous fabric |
I ended up with these fabrics!!
Now my big decision is exactly how (and if) to integrate the green on the front since I have enough of the other 3 fabrics.

| This is the dolly bed size version I'll be making. |
This is the quilt I stole my idea from. I had originally thought of having the outside 2 columns of diamonds in the green with the rest the neutral but now I am thinking either no green or it could be the 2nd column from one side. I am also debating to finish the edges flat for a regular (green?) binding or to leave them with the hexie points. I'm leaning towards points...
I am making progress tho!! Those pesky little decisions can be made later...I've got stitching to do...

I can see why you're enthused about the giraffe print. Your design idea looks great.
Fascinating hexie layout. Haven't seen one like that before.
Where will the giraffes be?

This is going to look fantastic!
Nice fabric selections, and a really interesting design. : )
