Well middle child...maybe I could help. Here's a little quilt I did using 1/2" hexies.[ATTACH=CONFIG]487561[/ATTACH] I cut border strips so that the quilt top overlapped the border about 1 1/2", pinning the strip to the quilt top, then hand stitched the qt to the border. I know mines not as long as yours so maybe a little tougher to do.
Have you thought of a wool batting?--would be beautiful to HQ. I MQ straight lines through some of the hexies. You should be able to see the stitching pattern. I finished a larger one with this size of hexie for our little NC GD. Now have to finish it off too. How big is this to be?
Later, cuz--G
