We(our senior quilters from church) just received a bag full of these tops, Some are queen size and some larger and maybe a twin. My question is how do you quilt this pattern? We just have the tops.

I have no idea! I hope someone can tell us.

I quilted 1/4 inch inside of the hexigon. If they are very small skip every other one.

If I were going to quilt this, I would use a backing of polyester knit and tie it. It will last "forever" and the colors will stay bright. Use poly batting.

Beautiful, You are so lucky to get it. I would not use polyknit for the backing, I would use a polyester fabric, not knit. Not sure how I would quilt it of tie it.
