That is beautiful. If you can't, I hope you find someone to hand quilt it.
I have pieced this several times, and always have hand quilted it, as it is a design that does not seem to be one to cross-hatch or otherwise superimpose a quilting design over the hexagons. Congratulations on finishing yours. I especially like your border, and will consider using your idea. Mine have been generally following the hexagon for edges, not blocked off or evened up in the border.

You sure are patient. I would have quit after the first 4 hexies.

Love your quilt. I am making one and it will probably take that long too.

How many needle stabs occurred as you did all the hexagons? The GFC has turned out beautiful - I like the white hexies.
