I've made this Hexa Garden Wall Hanging top. I printed the directions from a library magazine, Quiltmaker. The finishing directions were on a different page that I didn't print. Now someone else has that issue checked out! I don't know how to bind/finish these hex sides. It is 36 #/4 x 32 inches. Thank you!

Depending on the way I want my quilt to look, I do 2 ways. One is to bind just like any other and basically cut off the points and the other, which took me quite a bit of time was to bind around each point- not an easy task! The last quilt I put an extra row all around and chopped off those points so I didn't lose too much of the pattern. Hope that gives you some ideas :)
Stunning quilt and colors!

if you have enough of your backing fabric you could do another round of hex's use it then trim off before binding. Or any other solid fabric that way you dont take away from the design of it!
You could even do a full row of the brown fabric that you used in between the hex's, then cut the straight edges to bind.

It's a beautiful quilt! I just googled: binding hexagon quilt and came up with this URL. Looks pretty thorough at first glance.

If you want to bind all the angles check out the binding odd angles tutorial at ankatreasures.wordpress.com. You could add a extra row and chop them off or do a facing strip. When you do a facing strip, it is done just like you do a fancy collar (scallops). You sew a good size strip to the edge following all the angles and cut notches in the seam allowanges at all the angles. You then fold the whole facing back and hand sew it to the quilt/wallhanging backing. It is kind of tricky and you have to work to get a crisp edge but it can be done. Good luck and I would try a little sample row before trying it on my wallhanging.
