Beautiful, just.....BEAUTIFUL!

Very pretty and a nice joining of both your mom's and your own fabric. That was a nice idea. I would not be looking for to machine or hand quilting something that large but then I don't do my own quilting except something really small and really simple. If you still have more hexagons, you could consider using them as the decorative end of a sham or other pillow for the bed.

Thank you everyone! I guess I'll add the next few rows and start hand quilting it! I hope we still have the bed once I'm done :) This was my take along project while traveling but I am pretty sure it will be my entertainment while movies are on tv and my porch project when it warms up :)

You could machine quilt it if you split the batting into 3 pieces. This eliminates much of the bulk that has to go under the arm of the machine. I first saw this technique described in detail in a book by Debra Wagner, but Marti Michell now has a book out on how to do it.

Very nice :-P

That's so beautiful!!!!!!!!!! I hand quilt but that one looks awfully big for HQ !!! :D:D

Lawwwwwwwwwww, child, that is some work. It is a delight to see it. I bow!

Its just beautiful! You are a brave woman to hand stitch. I'd never have the patience...OK I won't say never but it would take me too long to get it done.

I am a new quilter and I love to do hexagons, is the paper still in the quilt at this time or was it taken out?

I take the paper out once I start sewing rows together. I leave the paper in the outside row to keep the shape nice! I re use the freezer paper shapes over and over. I probable only cut 30 or 40 of them for this project :)
