Take a look at this link. It might help her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwPe_...eature=related

I'm working on one as we travel back and forth moving (houses are 5.5 hours apart) and I'm making my rosettes in a diamond shape. One center hex with one go around and 2 others, opposite each other. When I find my camera I'll take a picture of the ones I've got done. :-D

I made a GFG for my DM. I made the centers all pink to represent Mom and I. I made the next row blue to represent my brothers. I made the next circle different scrap pieces to represent the grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Then the next row was white to represent all of the angels who have gone on before us.
