you're welcome jory!!

take your quilt to the fabric store to find a binding. I was originally going to nip off the points around the hexagons and bind the quilt - leaving the scalloped edges.

When i gave my aunt her other quilt last summer, she made the comment that she was disappointed that it didn't fit her full size bed. I thought about adding a border to it, but just couldn't wrap my brain around how to do it w/out it looking like there had been a border added to it many years later.

It was that comment that led me to add the border on this Grandmas Flower Garden. For me, it was very important that the border NOT look like it was added on 50 yrs later!

She thinks it is wonderful that she has something she made and yet finished by one of her nieces. She will enjoy it and there will be 2 quilts that she can pass down to her children
