I finally finished the quilting on the hexagon quilt, aside from one singular row going all the way around the quilt. The purpose for this is that I have to finish he edges first, before I can do the quilting.
The first step I started with is cutting the batting and backing to match the edging of the quilt, plus 1/4" seam allowance.

The next step was to carefully trim back the batting even with the quilt edge, leaving the backing material to fold in.
I have to tuck under the 1/4" seam of the backing fabric and slip stitch the edge to close the quilt. Very much like closing a pillow, except this quilt has to be completely done by hand all the way around.
I started the edge. This will also take some time. After I finished the edge I will go back to quilting the last row. I am getting there, but with the hustle and bustle if Christmas, I doubt it will get done for a bit.
