Quick question though- why did you choose to do a border on 2 sides of both quilts(from what I can tell), and not leave the 'scalloped' look around the entire quilt? ..Just curious. I like the look of both of them, but wondering if there's a reason...

Thanks for sharing!
That's a very good question actually. I didn't like the look of it which is why I cut the two ends straight and put a binding on them. My advice is to make one and see what you think. I think that issue was why it took me sooooo long to complete the quilts because I didn't know what to do with 2 of the sides. It didn't turn out with nice edging like the two I left. Also, the two I did leave natural I didn a row of machine top stitching along the length to reinforce those areas and those seams have never pulled apart. My binding was also put on by machine using a zig zag stitch and it did come out and looks nice. I expected the ends to be the same on all 4 sides and they didn't come out that way. If you do make one, I'd love to see what you do with it. that's where I think the puff quilt may work up easier.

You don't have to use the hexagon template to make a biscuit quilt. You can use squares or triangles or any shape that will fit together well. If the sides don't work, just cut them straight like I did.
