Beautiful quilt and nostalgic too...is that cardboard that I see in each of the hexagons? Can you just tell me in a nutshell how you did this to get all of the hexagons to look so crisp and correct? Thanks!

Absolutely gorgeous. I do like the pellon idea. GFG is one of my favorite quilts.

Great idea. I never thought of that. I have one started that has some "short sides" so this will be a good fix. Thanks.

Gorgeous!!! You have brought a whole new meaning to GFG! I started on years ago but I now dislike the fabric and have left it on the shelf...another UFO! Yours is just beautiful!

vschieve 05-09-2011 09:09 AM

GFG??? Could someone tell what the acronym spells out?
My guess is Granny's Flower Garden??

Tink74 05-09-2011 09:57 AM

Close :-). Grandma's Flower Garden :-)

Tink74 05-10-2011 02:51 PM

Tink74 05-11-2011 09:01 AM

I'm sorry... My error... Put in search English paper piecing, good one from connecting threads. As far as my hexis, I printed them on cardstock & cut them out & reused them several times. I posted earlier the web site I got the print out from. Let me see if I can find it...
