i need to repair this. any suggerstions for the binding that is hex shaped..........

I would need a photo of the damaged area to see what could be done.

The quilt is beautiful and well worth whatever it takes to repair it. Is it a family piece?

That is lovely. Is it the binding that needs repair?

Can't help ya, but love those fabrics!

Pretty, good for you to try repairing it. Good luck.

Beautiful. I'm sorry I can't be of help. But you have such a treasure

I just finished a quilt top my aunt made. It was a six pointed star. The edges were a series of squared off edges. I actually tried to make a binding for it. I made a bias binding.

I read up on EVERYthing I could find on uneven edging. All I found was for scalloped edging. I followed the instructions for sewing it on the back and it worked just fine.

Once I went to hand sew it on the back, there was no way I could get it sewed on without tucking the binding.

I looked at my aunt's Grandmother's Garden and found she didn't do binding. She just turn the edging of binding and top under (probably 1/4" or more. Then she must have slip stitched it closed. She did very fine handwork and I can't see the stitches. I'll take a picture tomorrow of both my binding and her method.

Your quilt is very nice. I'm not sure what you are wanting to do, but I'm sure you'll do fine.

I have a vintage Grandmother's Flower Garden that has binding that is real narrow and goes along each hexagon that is on the outside edge. That must have been quite a job. Also, I have seen ones where the outside blocks were cut to make it straight.
