It has taken a long time, and there have been many hiccups along the way. First I made a big mistake in the central hexagon, and had to start from scratch again, then I hit a brick wall mentally, because I had never done so many split rings at one time, but I managed to overcome this. Life then threw in a few curve balls in the shape of my husband's illness and other family matters, but finally...finally, it is finished. It is worked in Coats 20, given to me by a dear friend. It is a little like getting a very difficult crossword out, a sort of triumphant relief. It will probably go to my daughter, as she is the one with a beautiful big dining table.

Your centrepiece is beautiful, neat, elegant...mind blowing
This is a center piece I have been wanting to do also. I Have started one of his big pieces from his book. I need to get back to it someday. Right now I am making his hat from Jan's book. It is the one with the hat brim and it isn't white but lots of color.
Congrats on the centerpiece! IT is beautiful!
