We've had some discussions on this before -- I'll have to do some searching on them. I think a lot of these quilts end up unfinished just because of the edges. And also because as a hand sewn/as you go project, they often have way too many blocks.
The band method Cash's Mom mentioned is a common finish. Helps support all that flex from the hexies.
For my $12?? handsewn thrift store top, I have decided I will drive myself crazy with binding, and while I will cut off the small points of the hexes, I will maintain the large hex shapes. It was huge and misshapen, I had to take off about 16 units? I have designed a quilting pattern and have the back. It will be one of my medium-hard long arm quilting practice projects.
