I am impressed, my GFG quilt ended up taking me 10 years from start to finish. It was 100% hand sewn, I didn't do the paper piecing, just cut out each hexagon and drew the 1/4 inch sewing line on each one. (They are 3 inch hexagons.) The quilt was supposed to be for my queen bed, but grew large enough for a king. (Not sure how that happened. But making the flowers was fun. Some I really liked and I didn't like some others, so they are still waiting to be put into another quilt.) Anyway, I wanted to do the traditional quilting, so did that on a Hinterberg quilting loop. By the time I got to the binding, I gave up on the idea of doing the hexagon edge. I just made more 1/2 hexagons put them on instead of cutting the others off.
