It is going to look beautiful! I LOVE hand-piecing (hand ANYTHING) and started my GFG on my last trip to Vanuatu. In 2 months there, I made nearly 30 flowers-I have no idea how many I need - I just kept making them! I have cut hex's for about another 20! Then to make the white hex's for the background! I go back overseas next month so I will probably finish the flowers and make a good start on the white hex's. I only work on that overseas since it is so portable. I hope someday to get them sewn together-I bet I'll have enough for 2 queen quilts! I don't really have a layout pattern, but I guess I'll figure that out when I think I have enough-I am just enjoying the hand-work so much! I love the added applique on your pattern! Will love to see it finished and what you have done with it!!
