My mother-in-law hand-stitched a grandmother's garden quilt in king-size. That's the pattern with all the hexagons. By the time she finished it, backed it with a sheet and tied the quilt, it was so heavy that I could only use it to cover the wrought iron railing around the steps in my split foyer house. It was great for padding to protect my baby's head when he toddled into the rails, but we got leg cramps from trying to sleep under it.
Use it for things like placemats or table runners...far too heavy for anything else!
