*gasping*! That is incredibly beautiful! You do such wonderful work that whatever you decide I'm sure will do honor and justice to this work of art.

Your friend knew JUST where to rehome it!

You're machine quilting is amazing but I'm thinking handquilting on this one! It would truly be a heirloom for u!

I agree with lollygagging - you are the quilt whisperer, Charisma, and it will tell you what it wants - if it refuses to speak to you, hand it on to another (me, for instance :P)

You do such beautiful work but IMHO I think that it should be hand quilted because it was hand pieced. The patience it took to hand sew all those little hexagons together deserves the patience of hand quilting. I hand and machine piece but only hand quilt. I have only made one quilt with hexagons. My first quilt.... and my last quilt with hexagons.

I would hand quilt it. You do great longarm quilting but this is all been hand done. i would stay with the handmade theme of the quilt. (Since you asked).
