First attempt at hand piecing...table topper
#1
Okay, this was actually a couple of firsts for me. First is that this was hand pieced, which is something I've always wanted to try. Second, I've never used a hexagon shape in anything...again, something I've always wanted to try. My grandmother used to make quilts with this shape all the time, so this was my attempt to do something she might have done. It is hand quilted (again...be kind....have not done much of that either!). Now, the only hard part is the binding, which I expected would not be an easy thing due to all the corners. If anyone has any tips, please share. I've seen examples of notching in the corners when doing binding around numerous corners, which I think is what I need to do, but...all new territory binding something that isn't square :)
Thanks in advance,
Christine

Forgot to add that I realize some of the quilting will "disappear" once I get the binding on, as I quilted too close to the edge....another learning experience for me. Thanks again for any tips/tricks for the binding. :)
