Finishing Hexie quilt?
I would like to add black borders to this GFG quilt. (The rows are still being hand stitched together) Do I applique the Hexie center to a large piece of black fabric, or applique each side to a border piece-probably 3” wide? And how do I handle the border seams? Thank you!!

Lovely quilt! I would either make the border out of black hexies and half-hexies, or applique it to border strips. Appliqueing to a large piece of fabric would also work, but a lot of fabric would be hidden in behind the GFG part.

Have only made 1 hexie quilt - still not finished quilting the border & binding - and appliqued them to a border of about 6". Some will be hidden behind the outer half of the hexies & is cut away. You can choose to join strips to top/bottom, then to each side, or create a mitred corner before stitching those areas down.
