Quilt Mania,
I, too, am handpiecing a GFG quilt and intend to hand quilt it as well. I do have a question--how are you doing your border? Do you "half" the flower so the edges are all even and then applique the hexagons to a border? I saw one done at a quilt show and the person filled in with a solid color of hexagons in order to make it even and the border showed flowers going up the sides (on stems) and they used the smaller hexagon template (I have all sizes). It was beautiful and different. Will look for an answer.
