Help... What will I do now???
This has been my hand sewing for the last two years, the hexagons are half inch and so far the quilt measures 52" X 67" (132cm X 170cm) I have two straight borders now and was going to put little round hexagon flowers in the gaps down the triangle sides but now I think it will be too much... I think I will just fill in the triangles with white hexagons then I think I will put an Applique border on next but what sort of Applique Border???
And what about the corners???
I think - I think - I think... Help!!

Pennie I love how you have squared it up cant that continue down the other sides too. No suggestions re the border though - you dont want too fussy to take away from the gorgeous hexagons. Loz

how about a vine with some tiny leaves and hexagon flowers for the border? i like the flowers in the triangles on the sides, I think it looks lovely.. I too have to have a squared up quilt, haven't mastered bias binding, so no curves or anything 'tricky' for me! :O)
Take care

I am loving the white filler triangles but I am concerned about the different one third from the left. I would like the two extra hexagons on the sides of the flower removed. Then I would like you to contine around the four sides in the appropriate manner. After that I am happy for you to add a border. I would like you to make a few prototypes and submit them for scrutiny and then we can all decide which one will be best.
ROTF at Michelle. Well, you did ask!
It looks incredible, Pennie - I really like it (and you know how I am deeply prejudiced against hexagons owing to my early experience that left me tragically scarred).
I have no idea how you wound up finishing your quilt. I just wanted to tell you how lovely it is and how inspiring. For I too was scarred young by a tragic hexagon experience.
