too big?

Very pretty and a nice joining of both your mom's and your own fabric. That was a nice idea. I would not be looking for to machine or hand quilting something that large but then I don't do my own quilting except something really small and really simple. If you still have more hexagons, you could consider using them as the decorative end of a sham or other pillow for the bed.

Thank you everyone! I guess I'll add the next few rows and start hand quilting it! I hope we still have the bed once I'm done :) This was my take along project while traveling but I am pretty sure it will be my entertainment while movies are on tv and my porch project when it warms up :)

You could machine quilt it if you split the batting into 3 pieces. This eliminates much of the bulk that has to go under the arm of the machine. I first saw this technique described in detail in a book by Debra Wagner, but Marti Michell now has a book out on how to do it.
