Small Hexagon Project - Ideal for cushion cover.  Christmas inspired.

Autumn Apples - October 2009 by Jackie Wills.

This is a rectangular and very adaptable design.   Extra rows of rosettes can be added each side to give extra width or pattern could be shortened rows from top and bottom.  I have demonstrated this design using only six colours.  There is absolutely no need to restrict to six colours.  Use small quantities of cherished fabrics but do keep the pattern balanced - for example if you decide to change the top and bottom centre green rosettes - do make them both the same.   Also suggest "white" hexagons are kept to a neutral light colour and "black" as a dark contrast.
