    Default Hexagon quilt finish?

    This is how far I've come with my mad project of making a hexagon charm quilt (charm = every hexagon is unique and from a different fabric than any other hexagon). It's long enough that I've started thinking about how to finish it... And I'm just not sure! At the moment I'm leaning towards making half hexagons in gray to make the edge even and then have the same gray as backing.

    I would LOVE some input! Any ideas?

    The quilt so far (I'm currently attaching the top two rows of flowers):

    The side edge looks like this:

    The five rows that are to be attached:

    That is absolutely beautiful! I love all the colours and I admire the patience that you have to work with all of those small pieces. i agree with you ... I would use a grey - probably a medium to dark one - for the border and backing. I'm impressed!

    Anna, this is gorgeous! I'm not experienced enough to give any advice on finishing, just wanted to tell you how beautiful this is. I also would like to know how long you have been working on this.

    Thanks peeps! About a year but only in front of the telly, at the cottage etc. A lot of the hexagons are made from scraps donated by or exchanged with friends here on the forum.

    Wow , you are fast girl!

    This is gorgeous! I think your idea with the border would work great!

    My self is only 3 row attached on my quilt.

    Show us the finished quilt when you are done!

    Have a great day


    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    hi Anna,
    Your hexie quilt turns out great. How many hexies are in your quilt? The idea with a neutral grey border is "génial". I still have to sew some rows on my forgetmenothexiequilt. Wouldn't that be a great word for some scrabble player?
    I'm awaiting pictures of your hexiequilt eagerly.
    greetings from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
