Here's some more hexagons.... this may be an addictive shape to make for many of our members...

The hexagons in the photo (below) are being made with some textured fabrics...  looks like silks?

And two finishes for our final photo this month...  The quilt has been completed by A, from a class which was held during 2017 by one of our members, using up 5in charm squares and two co-ordinating fabrics.  On the floor, is a completed crochet rug.  I'm sorry there isn't a better photo  to show off the beautiful stitches.
