I've been wanting to do a Grandmothers flower garden using the English Paper Piecing method. Connecting Threads sells the papers in different sizes and I'm debating what size to use. I know I don't want to do the small hexigons. But should I go with the ones that are 3" across or 4" across. I don't want the hexigons to be huge, but I want them to be kind of patchwork in size. I'll hand quilt the finished quilt 1/4" inside each seam. If I use Hobbs 80/20 or Hobbs Wool, would the 4" across need more than just the one line of quilting inside each piece? (3" finished would be quilted about every 2 1/2 and the 4" finished would be quilted about every 3 1/2).
