What a cool idea! I didn't know you could even buy these. I bought some antique GFG units on ebay and found they are really stitched poorly. I'm taking them apart and doing them by paper piecing (orginals were just hand sewn not very well). I now need to find 5/8" papers..... Maybe I can see about a punch!

Have fun.

I think the Grandma' Garden quilt was made to be a scrappy quilt. Go for it.

I think this would be great for your scraps. I love scrap quilts and I am always amazed how all the colors go so pretty together.
I am wondering if there is a pattern book for this to do by hand. My fried told me how but I am a better visual person than to read instructions. This would be a good project when you are just sitting relaxing and just want to use your hands. Good luck and I would love to see it when it is done.Which I am assuming would take a while.LOL

The picture posted looks like it would work to go scrappy. Can't wait to see the finished or work in progress

on my GFG each "flower" is scraps from a project so it is sort of a memory quilt.....in process of hand quilting now but it has been all over the country and Canada also. will show finished quilt photo in 3 or 4 years, God willing.

I think it is a good idea, and a no brainer when it comes to english piecing.

I am working on a GFG and doing everything by hand.
I am making it as a planned scrappy and having each
flower with the same color on 2nd row. I think it
will be great a scrappy by hand!

I made one for my daughters 21st birthday and shes now 50 . I made that by hand too .The sad thing is it was on the bed when the roof of the tiny tiny cottage leaked and badly stained it . No ammount of washing has removed it . As my daughter says at least it proves it has been used .

You try and see if it pleases you. I made one scrapy about 45 years ago. Its all hand pieced and hand quilted. Still in use. I put a pretty solid yellow for all the centers and solid green path between the blocks. It has been lovelingly retired to graceing a quilt rack in my guest room.
