I finished the main border today...now for the final border. The final border will take a little more planning, as it will eventually be sewn to the backing and I want to make sure I have enough fabric to make a nice seem. I am not going to bind it...I am going to finish it with its fun shape too =D Any comments on advice for finishing the final edge will be welcomed...

A true work of art! Fabulous!

What a cutie! Oh, and the quilts cute, too :)

It's so pretty!! I have no idea how to finish it but someone will.
Allyssa is precious!!! :D

It's so very pretty and so is the cutie holding it up.

Both are adorable!!!

So pretty, the quilt and Allison

Ditto!!!

So beautiful!! great job!

Incredible!

My grandmother did bind hers following the hexagon shapes. You can make a facing like you do in apparel sewing.

Just what I was thinking! A very pretty comfy quilt for a little princess!

Beautiful quilt

Ummmm...huh?

So very adorable, quilt and Allyssa.

I so so love this, its so beautiful..........

Okay, cut four long pieces of fabric about four inches wide. Measure them so they match the outside four inches of the quilt. Now sew them together so they look like a picture frame, but are the size of the quilt, not bigger. Put the quilt and this facing right sides together. Stitch from the quilt side in a 1/4" seam, following the outline of the hexagons. Clip corners as needed, turn the facing to the back, press well, then handsew the loose edge of the facing to the back of the quilt, turning the edge under as you go.

Works best with table runners and wallhangings, but it could be used if you are determined not to bind the edge.

Beautiful !!

Oh my goodness, that's so pretty!

Beautiful, what patience.

That is just beautiful. And so is she. I love her smile. Great job and thanks for sharing.

You have done a beautiful job. Very pretty, as well as your model.

Stupendous. Wonderful girlie quilt.

both are beautiful! you can finish the edges with half hexes and then bind you'll have a straight edge for binding.

I keep checking on your progress. Your quilt is so very pretty!! I love it!!

It's awesome! Looks like it was a lot if work! Well done!

Just beautiful, both the quilt and the girl.

How would you do this? I understand a facing but I can't grasp how a facing would help when it's a backing you're needing to attach to the little shapes. I think she would need to lay the batting down first then the backing down, face up.. next the quilt top...face down and stitch 1/4" from the edge of all the little pieces, then trimmed away the excess, would you be able to turn it out like a pillow case?

LOL, I've never made one obviously but that's where my mind takes me, right or wrong. Ha!

Whoops! Posted too late, I see you already answered the question. Sorry

I love this quilt! She looks so happy!

Beautiful quilt, beautiful girl. I really love this one.

Both are sweet!

I just think that quilt is awesome. You have inspired me. Thanks

Wow! I love it and the colors! Looks like she does too! :thumbup:

Another option is to applique hexagons to a strip of matching fabric to create straight edge ; easier to bind this way

I am definately keeping the wonky edges...part of its charecter =D But great idea!!

It is going well

Both are beautiful!!!

Both are just too cute!

So sweet and precious. Oh, and I love the quilt! :)
