You did a wonderful job with it. It is very pretty. I, also bought an old quilt in a hexagon pattern. Fabric is very thin and fragile. It has one hexagon missing on a corner. I have search for thin white fabric, but not muslin. No luck, as the today's white would really stand out, so since I plan on hand quilting, I am leaving that missing corner as is.

Wow! I'm so impressed. I just set aside a quilt with a single set of poorly constructed borders (my own work from several years ago when I was (more) clueless)...as I just didn't have the patience! What a wonderful thing to have 'rescued' this quilt and put it together to it's best advantage. It's just beautiful, and I like the navy border, makes it look very crisp!
