I also applaud, anyone, that does hex's. I had a lady friend give me aGRGarden quilt top. She cut the pieces out when she was 10-11 yrs old. Anyhow, I hand quilted everyone of those hex's(3,000-3,500). It wasn't any problem for me doing the hand quilting. But just thinking on sewing all those hex's together, and getting them sewed accurately.
