It's quilted in the ditch except for the side insets. you can't see it, but i quilted a circle around each motif and then filled in the backgrounds with cross-hatching.

Hi Patrice,
Lovely quilt. Hexagons are my favourite as you probably know already as I put up my photo called, Hexagon Star Quilt a while ago. I couldn't believe the response to it so we are not alone when it comes to loving hexagons!
Yours is lovely! Congratulations! Therese

Oh, my! This is simply beautiful! I started a hex quilt once - all by hand, but got really bored. I'm not sure I have the stamina to try it again! I hope your son fully appreciates all you have invested into it! Great job!
