I am not going to make it square. It is going to stay a hexagon. Thanks for the leads to bind the edges. I want to maintain the individual hexagon shapes on edge. When you do the birthing method, does anyone else have "extra" on the back side? I have done this and the back tends to be baggy. Do you make it slightly smaller to begin with?

Congratulations on this beautiful finish and labor of love. It really is gorgeous. I don't know why you can't bind like normal binding. Just do a miter at each turn/corner. Or I suppose you could cut binding on the bias but I like the miter' sharp corner/angles for something like this. Well done...
