Wonderful quilt! I always am happy when an older quilt gets finished.

This quilt was hand pieced and in keeping with that I went with the traditional hand quilting 1/4" inside each hexie all around. I just love that look. I will post another picture that shows the quilting better.

Maybe this pic shows the quilting better. Thanks for the great comments.

I like that quilting around each hexie takes pressure off of the seams in case they are not real strong. This top has great hand sewing but not whip stitched, which would be stronger I would think.
