After you quilt it, lay your hexie quilt on that, RST, pin and stitch around the edge of the hexies. Clip and turn and press around the edges like crazy, then slipstitch the "binding" down onto the back. Just an idea. I don't think I'd want to trim anything off either!<br /><br />E.OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564846556280971762.post-79607477048231923542014-11-29T22:29:33.677-06:002014-11-29T22:29:33.677-06:00I have made a hexagon wall quilt.

So the half hexagons that are sticking out on yours now would be trimmed off. I arranged mine so that the last row could be sacrificed that way without losing the design.<br /><br />Your swap quilt is gorgeous too.
