Hope Valley Hexagon Frame Coin Purse

Hope Valley Hexagon Frame Coin Purse
 
That is a long title, but you know hand pieced hexies take a long time too:
 

 
Yes, my photos are upside down!  You guess if it was to get your attention or if that is how Blogger loaded them!
 
 
This is the back which is also hand pieced.
 
It's a great take along project:
 
 
These were pieced in the car while my husband was driving.
The coin purse is a secret swap gift for a friend.  Hope she likes it.

I have never looked at a pattern to see how the frame is attached to a purse. And I have not seen the frames anywhere but online. Is it easy to do?
