I think that GFG looks much more finished and elegant when you use facing to bind it. The edges make people think that you did something very difficult. Yet it's quicker and easier than any other method, and it lays perfectly
flat.
What a great tutorial! I am making a similar quilt and haven't been able to decide how to bind it. I have never been really fond of the GFG layouts for these paper pieced hex pieces so I am doing my own layout. I'm calling it Grandfathers Flower Meadow. If I ever get it done I'll post a photo. I hate to think about the hand quilting. That has not been my favorite thing. Guess it might become "my thing". Thanks again for the link to the tutorial.
