2012 Challenge Quilt

My LQS, StitchCraft, has a yearly challenge.  You are given a 1/2 yard of a focus fabric with the challenge of creating something from it.  The only real rule is the fabric cannot be hidden in a lining of an item or the backing of a quilt.  The fabric for this year is from the iota line by Robert Kaufman.

I went with a play on the grandmothers flower garden and created my secret garden.  I fussy cut my hexagons creating a kaleidoscope effect.  I'm very happy with the outcome.
