Question Help with Hexagons, PLEASE!

I couldn't wait to start using the repro fabrics I just got in the mail. I cut 2"squares and started folding little 1.5 inch hexagons and piecing them in a random fashion. I really enjoy the hand piecing during quiet time and suddenly I'm about 1/3 finished with a long table runner for my MIL.

Here's the problem...I'm looking at this long rectangle and have no idea how I will layer it with batting and backing, nor how I will finish front and back to one another. The only idea I can come up with is to even out all the edges with white hexes/half hexes and then turn and topstitch. If I want to keep the uneven edges, what do I do to make it work?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
