I am a member of a local BOM. This month we are doing a Grandmothers' flower garden block. I am doing mine by machine. Got through round 1 just fine. I am lost on what to do in round 2. Nothing I am doing is working. I am starting to hate Hexagons. I would love a step by step Tutorial. It is a 45 minute drive to the quilt shop where I am about to show up with my fabric and machine and ask for help. I have faith that one of you will set me in the right direction and save me that trip into Albuquerque.

Grandmothers flower garden is a favorite in English paper piecing, which is a great take along project. to do by hand. I wouldn't want to try it by machine...goggle it...its quite easy, no fanc y stitches :D

I agree with Ruth. I suppose it could be done by machine, but it would be a nightmare with all those set-in seams. This is one pattern that is actually a lot easier using English paper piecing.

I looked at the paper piecing.......I will probably be unsewing my pieces and starting over unless something better comes along. Thanks for directing to this idea.

How big are the hexagons?
If they are two inches or larger, you could probably do it by machine. But I do think this is one case where hand sewing might be easier in the long run. By the way, there are some great tutorials on Y-seams around. |
Hi There Im new to this form so forgive me if Im doing it wrong...i am also working on the Granny flowers in white and black so far so good.

Hugs to Patrice...I love your method and am now ready to try and finish this nightmare. My Hex's are 2" finished. Will post pic when I get it done. Give me a day or two as I have two grandchildren here wanting to play BOARD games! Wow they are 13 and 15...not going to turn this op down.
