Vintage help, please....

 Just look at these beauties.... These 2 quilts belong to my neice Kristen who aquired them from her Grandma who just recemtly passed away...
 They are both hand pieced... just look at these stitches..Unbeleivable... such treasures they are..
 The flower hexagon quilt isn't finished though..there are some pieces left in a baggie, but not quite  enough. Kristen asked me if I could finish them for and I am trying to figure out what and how to do to finish this one up. Any ideas??? Anyone know someone who does hand piecing that I can pay to finish it? I would just love it if it could be finished the way it was suposed to be done. The way her Grandma had visioned it to be.
The bow tie one is ready to be finished... I talked to the girls at guild, and they assured me it was ok to long arm stitch them... I am sooooo scared though... This quilt has been sitting for a week in the same spot, just waiting patiently for me to get up the nerve to quilt it. GULP!!

Beautiful quilt. Love the flower hexagons. I enjoy handpiecing quilts (I just recently took up this hobby). I prefer hand sewing to using the machine, though it takes a bit longer. I have been hand sewing for years,but got into quilting last year.
