    I like the way you are thinking, sounds very pretty.

    A double pathway would be just fine. I have seen some with NO pathway. I am not so fond of that way. Seems too busy to me, but to each his own. There are so many ways to put a hex quilt together. As soon as I'm finished with the one I am working on now, I plan to do a diamond pattern. If I can ever learn to post pictures, I'd post a couple! Keep waiting for DD to come "teach" me. Why is it that young people are always in such a hurry!

    Your quilt-do what you want. If in the end you don't like it, you will know next time.

    Yeah for me, I have 5 blocks done with the pathway on them. Just laying them out on the floor I can see I'm going to have to cut so blocks in half on the sides. Or is there a way to make half blocks.

    I have never done half blocks. I fill in the space with hex's in the background or pathway color. Mine all have white around the "flowers, so I fill in with white to square it up. I have seen half blocks however. They are do-able.

    Yes, it's easy to make half blocks, you only have to make half the amount of hexes then sew them together, leaving half the flower undone.

    Thank you, and yes, try here ... http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-116008-1.htm

    If that doesn't work, go to the Pictures section and look for My Purple & White GFG.

    :)
