I haven't embroidered all the hexagon centres with a specific motif. For some I have made up the embellishment as I went along.This one, for example, is a buttonhole flower using variegated thread in shades similar to the surrounding fabric.
This one is a whipped chain stitch circle.
Mostly the embroidery is flat, but I did succomb to small bullion buds for one.
Some are more successful than others, but it is a lot of fun just playing around with such small motifs and breaks the long sessions of stitching he hexagons together.

I do like the way you are embroidering the centres very nice
Am I right in thinking that the embroidery is still your main interest in this quilt, Jillian?
It all looks like a lot of fun!
I wouldn't say it is my main interest, Monica, but without the embroidery interest I might be flagging a bit. The quilt is consuming most of my stitching time and is so big I'd be going weeks without embroidering if it weren't for the centres - so that keeps me going and on task!
More gorgeous hexies! Love seeing what you are doing for the centres
