Roses in December: Hexagons

I've about finished working with roses this month; however, I do have a few longer term projects that will use my rose prints that will carry over into the new year. 

I have some darker colored rose print scraps in browns and greens that I will be using in:

...a hexagon quilt. This one is called "Sunshine Box Quilt" from Scrappy Firework Quilts by Edyta Sitar. 

I'll use these smaller rose prints for the triangles between the hexagons. 

I'm thinking that along with the brown and green earth tones I'll add in a few hexies made from orange and darker red scraps too. 

I've already started cutting hexies from the smaller scraps. 

I cut a few by hand each day. I'm not good at rotary cutting odd shapes.

Some scraps are too small for a hexie so they go into another scrap pile and the cutting also leaves a few crumbs so I might make a few crumb hexies. For a 52.5 x 65.5 quilt I need 188 hexies.  I might make my quilt a little larger since these hexagons look easy to piece by machine and I think I have more than enough scraps for 188+ hexies.   

There's no rush.
