So I dropped everything and started on this in about April. These are 1" hexi's and the quilt top is about 38 x 52 - perfect for a crib. The top is now officially all done. Just have to sandwich and finish it off. But the slow handsewing part is done.

What patience you must have! Gorgeous!
|
Wow, It's so perfect that it doesn't look real. Is the paper still in there?
|
I started a queen size a year ago & am down to @ 20 flowers left to put on. I can't wait to finish it! I'm not close enough to the end to decide on how to quilt it.
|
It's a beautiful quilt, and your generosity of spirit (&work) will be a treasure to your grandaughter!
|
Wow this is beautiful.

I love GFG quilts above all others and yours is gorgeous. When I was very young, I spent summers with my Grandmother and slept under her GFG quilt. Years later when she died, my aunt claimed that quilt. It turns out that everyone in the family loved it. When I finally retired, I wandered into a quilt shop one day and saw one hanging there. The owner showed me how to cut and piece it by hand and it became my portable quilt project for a year. I learned to hand quilt, so I could complete it just like Grandma's. Everytime I look at it, I smile and think of her. I think it is the happiest quilt pattern of them all. Your DGD will no doubt also cherish this labor of love. I wish you could find time to handquilt it, but maybe echo quilt it--I did that on a patriotic GFG I did for soldiers of valor.

I love to do paper piecing, it is relaxing in the evenings or you can take a few and do them while waiting at the drs., other appointments or while a passenger on a trip I love your little crib quilt and I am sure it was worth all the time and effort you put into it. Great job.

I have made these before and know the time and work that goes into the finished product . You have created an heirloom which anyone would treasure. Great job!
|
Excellent work! What a treasure for your grandbaby to have.
|

|
That's so lovely! You did an incredible job on your piecing!
|
It is beautiful. You must be very patient!
|
Absolutely amazing. You are very talented.
|
Love, Love, Love it.

Beautiful. I made on out of 2 inch hexs while recouping from heart surgety 4 years go, but whn I put it together it juct wouldn't turn out square, thought I would make a jacket out of it, but could cut it up so after doing the frog stitch and puting it back together, it turned out beautiful, so this year am doing a 1 inch one, might turn out to be a able runner. LOL The way you squard it up is beautiful.
|
Great job it's so pretty...I did mine with 2 1/2" hex and all by hand also( a Queen size) it's very time consuming isn't it.............I like the small hex also they are so delicate
|
That is just too adorable done up smaller like that! You do beautiful work! My, you must have a lot of patience... But then again nothing is to precious for a dear grandaughter!
|
What great work -I couldn't work on that scale!
|
This quilt is absolutely gorgeous. I love your choice of fabric, placement and your precision piecing is, well, just too beautiful. Thanks so much for posting this.

Looks to me like your eyes.....are "some of your better bits" as the English say. Fantastic job, but don't think I'll be tackling anything with 1" pieces anytime soon!.....LOL
|
That is too pretty!
|
I can't imagine how much time and effort it took to put that together. I am sure that it will be much appreciated.
|
It's a treasure! Lucky baby!
