I like the process so much that it's taken me well over 2 years to complete my very first quilt top. Although, I must say, it's a Grandmother's Garden English paper pieces project, I've still relished in the pleasures of piecing the hexagons at just the right angle and selecting just the right coordinatng fabric. I didn't make a traditional flower pattern, my flowers are mostly symetrical with evenly placed hexagon pieces and the circle pattern on the flowers are not all one kind of fabric in a circle like the tradition flowers are made, if this makes sense. Sooo, anyhow, I am a love the process kinda gal too. I just started quilting when I found this pattern on the internet. I'm hand quilting, the whole quilt and I find that it's relaxing and sooo enjoyable. What's the rush ladies??? Sit back and enjoy. Life goes by wayyyy to fast as it is! ! ! ......
