You could take some of this along as a hand-stitch project. To make the quilt you cut fabric repeats until you have six, then layer one on top of the other, matching the pattern in the fabric. Then cut strips across the width of the fabric layers, then cut these layers into triangles (6 layers of one triangle equal one hexagon). You sew 3 triangles to make half a hexagon, then the other 3 to make another hexagon. Then you pin one half to the other half to make a hexagon. Then you need a design wall to lay out all your pinned hexagons into the pattern you want. Then you unpin the sets and join them in strips across your quilt. Each strip will match up to the previous strip, bringing your hexagons back together. This part might be difficult for handstitching as there are a lot of layers to go through. Sounds difficult but not really once you get started.
