I am posting a few closer up pics to answer a few board members questions...I hope this is a start =D This quilt started as a practice piece from scraps that came from a quilt I did for my niece and then grew and grew =D I learned the how-tos from watching videos on YouTube and then just went for it. I have learned along the way and can keep learning. Soon I will be hand quilting it...will be looking for the board to help guide me through that =D

Very nice job! I want to do one but don't have the patience.

So girly with the soft pinks and coordinates. Love it!

Beautiful

What dedication you have! I love the fabrics used the quilt is really very pretty. How will you bind the edges?

That is wonderful looking! Yes, it does take patience..more than I have!

what a lovely quilt!

i just love this.. have been searching on this site for a tutorial on how exactly how to make the hexie flowers.... with no luck of course...
do you take the paper out does it stay in there.... HELP! not sure on the paper and cutting the 1/4 inch boarder... boy I need some help!

I spent a ton of time on YouTube...just put Grandma's Flower Garden in search and learn =D. Or use English Paper Piecing...

So pretty, I have never really even looked up how to do this type of quilt. I will have to check out you tube...It would really be good for taking along in the car to have something to work on...you just baste the fabric onto the paper? I will look up the video. thanks so much, love the colors...

This turnrd out beautiful. You did such a nice job with it. I love the soft pastel colors too.

Great job, love the colors, you have great patience. Love the pattern.

You GFG-makers are NUTS! This is insane! How long does it take you all to make these?

They are stunning, but... yikes! I'm not sure I can fathom how long it must take!

(You all know that I write all of this in complete admiration, right?)

Beautiful!!!! You have done a wonderful job with this. I'm envious, but in a good way!

Beautiful! :D

WOW that is amazing, not ever in this lifetime will I be able to do that!

3rd border finished, just need to add it to the top...am hoping Monday I will start the final border =D

I love it! Mine has been an when in the car for a long time, before I go to bed, and now I plan to take it to my Dr appointments. My mother in law says I am crazy, but I think everyone should make at least one. Funny part is, I learn how to do mine from YouTube as well, LOL.

Gorgeous, love your colors and design.
Did you make or buy your hexagon paper?
I'm playing with one now made with some scrap, I just love doing it. I also learned from YouTube.

I just watched a tute on Connecting Threads about English paper piecing.
I love doing handwork when we take trips in the car.
Your quilt is lovely!! :D:D

very very nice job! I've been working on one for 4 years now - a very scrappy flower garden....nowhere near nice as yours!

Gorgeous

Lovely quilt, and I love the border.

I have made 2 of this pattern. But I hand piece not pp/ PP is too much trouble when I can put the hexes together an hand piece, no pulling papes out. Gave one to my DGD when she was a year old. Washed so many times you would not believe and still a pretty quilt. First thing she packed when she got married last spring. lol

That is fabulous, but I don't know that I would have the dedication to do it. Kuddos to you!!!

Just goregous! Each time you post your progress I'm more impressed. Thanks for the close up pictures.

One of the prettiest GFG I've ever seen!!! :D :D :D

oh it is beautiful!!!!! way more patiences then I. My sis-in-law just finished hers, she did all her hexs while on vacation, yes hand sewn while traveling across 4 states, I commend you ladies that can stick with a project like this.

I can't even image the patience you must have. Beautiful job!!

I love your quilt, I would love to try to make one too but I imagine it would be a little too difficult for someone who is just beginning.

I'm using the English paper piecing on one that I have started helps pass the time when setting in Doctors office when I have to take my husband or setting at home watching tv at night. You can buy the hexagons online and they are reusable. I have done several flowers and waiting to get enough done before I sew them together, will wait til I get ready to sandwich it before I remove the paper

The hexis I use of made of card stock...I have read where some are using the blow-ins that fall out of magazines too. I reuse them until they are too soft (I fold mine as I stitch hexis together as the piece gets larger). The web site is www.ciaspalette.com. I print several copies and MikeyB and I sit together and cut them out =D
This morning I finished sewing on the third border. I took a pic with the proud owner, but she was making the weirdest face...said it was too heavy LOL =D

THANKS FOR THE PHOTOS OF THE DETAILS! (Beautiful quilt!!!!)

I am so impressed with the piecing of this quilt pattern. You did a wonderful job. Truely a labor of love!

Just absolutely beautiful. What patience and persistence on your part. Keep up the good work. It is so nice and will be an heirloom. Hope you are keeping a journal while making it.

I love everything about this quilt! :-D

Nice work and great patience. Tho it can be fun to sit and quietly stitch. Something we have forgotten with our superduper machines.

You have the patience of Job; but the rewards are so great!!
