I found a completed top at an antique store for $30. It was not a true Grandmother's Flower Garden, but 1008 or so 1 inch hexagons sewn together (by hand). It looks to be from the 30s or 40s, and I couldn't stand the thought that some woman's work would not be appreciated, so I bought it, started to quilt in a the traditional pattern, and decided to take out what I had done and display it along with the other antique tops I have. I wonder how many tops have been used for rags or stuff? I hope the women who did them so long ago can't see the ones that were abused.
