I finally have all my blocks ready to put together, but can't seem to get it right. Can someone tell me what to do now? I put a row of color around the first one, but when I go to put the other blocks around it, it doesn't fit right.

I'm not sure what the problem is but I am working on a GFG now and I just lay the two pieces together on a flat surface. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When you start stitching them together just make sure the edge stays on the same edge that you matched it to. I hope this helps.

got pics? depending on how many rows are in each flower, there are different ways to set it together.

I am making my second GFG quilt. I found out the hard way that you have to put it together with d. I had to rip a large dividing hex's only sewn half way around the flower. Do a google search for GFG (spelled out) and you will see what I mean. Good luck. I had to do the "FROG" stitch and completely rip my first GFG flowers apart as I had put the deviding hex's all around each flower.

Not really sure how to explain how I did it but will give it a try. For each flower I sewed them into the circle first, then put the one inside the other and stitched them together. After all the flowers were made I did the about the same thing with the path. Except did it in half, and attached the flowers one row at a time.

I'm still working on it but maybe will just applique them on blocks.

Dianna7784,

Please, what is d.?

On my goodness, sorry. That should read that you have to put dividing hex's half way around the flowers. That is probably clear as mud. I did a google search and found lots of site on how to put them together.
