    Beautiful quilt...obw is the most fun of all, I think...I have made close to 20....I always use meandering...often with Thread that blends, variegated,....why detract from the fabulous design that magically appears with each completed hexagon and the delight that comes when working on the design wall....The pain comes sewing when sewing the half hexagons together....and that is a small price to pay when the border and binding goes on and the quilt is hanging!

    Thank you all for your suggestions, and to those who shared their quilts. I finally decided to FMQ with a different motif on each hexagon. It's busy but I like it. I started to SITD and didn't enjoy doing that at all. So I switched to the method I am most comfortable with.

    I am almost done and will post a photo after it's all done.
