The quilting was finished by stitching in my "happy toes" pattern on the sides. The binding for the flower border was a pieced binding using scraps from the flower fabrics. The ends were finished with a knife edge binding, which was the trickiest part for me.
I debated whether I should use orange hexagons, or green ones on the back. I chose the green, because they bring a part of the front back to the reverse side. I made a few more hexagons, and simply stitched them to the front hexies after trimming back the orange and batting a little. Then I appliqued the open edges to the orange fabric. Easy peasy.
I love the knife edge binding. It feels great and special. But if I had to choose, I think the pieced binding attached to the flower border is the prettiest part of the quilt.
