Results of Round Two for placement !!

I am trying to get away from a typical rectangle and the need to use so many 1/2 hexes. Will be content to make it 6 or 8 sided, somewhat oblong. I know it's not balanced that way yet, though am stopping now as I'm just too darned tired!

I think this round is looking better than the first one ... your comments and suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks ... I wish that my camera was giving as nice of colours for the hexes as it did for the fabric photo. Same camera and the design wall is only about 8 ft from where the fabric was shot. So why?

Dear Moderators ... please forgive me for I have sinned. I just realized that I did not post this to the Picture Board. If you would like to move it, please do!

I love your fabric and your blocks, unfortunately I can't help, I've never done a OBW, one reason is working with hexagons, but I'm sure you'll get lots of help from others.

Are you using a book for the hexagon pattern? If so could you please clue me in on what it is, I think I just may want to give this a try myself!
Beautiful work, by the way.
