Quilt as you go hexagons

 I've been stitching some of the hexagons together to make a table mat.  Here's how they look so far.

The shape looks a little odd until you compare what I've sewn so far to my layout plan from a few weeks ago.

The ladder stitch has worked perfectly to hide the stitches that connect each hexagon, even the red one.

I'll be slow stitching on this project today while football games are on, and linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.
