It is a great quilt top...you really should quilt it 1/4" inside each hexagon. You'd be surprised how great it looks :) And actually if you start on one row of hexagons, go around 4 sides, go between layers to the next hexagon, do the same thing and continue across the row or as far as you want, then turn and work your way back across the two sides that are left, you'd be surprised at how fast it will go :!:
