have you ever just put it on the bed using it as a bedspread without being quilted.the hexagons look like they have been stuffed. I made two of these grandmother's flower garden to be used only as spreads. that was back in 1980, I still have mine not sure what happen to the one I did for my mother. they were sewn by hand. they were made out of double knit fabric. A friend of mine still makes double knit(not the jersey knit kind) quilts for our cold winters here in Ohio.
