I have done 2 GFG hand pieced, and they turned out just fine. This is a great take-along project to do while riding in a car, waiting at dr's office, watching kids play sports, watching tv, etc. Eventually you will have enough flowers and paths to make a quilt. I have a friend who sewed large hexies together ( I think 3 1/2-inch), then appliqued to a 12-inch square, then used sashing to set hers, and it looks good, too.
