I just finished this full-size Grandma's Flower Garden quilt tonite. My 80 yr old aunt hand-pieced this during the 50s or 60s and gave it to me about 10 yrs ago :oops:

I added the border so that it will fit a full-size bed (my bed is queensize)

She doesn't know i finished it, i'm going to take it to her over President's day weekend

on my bed

Absolutely gorgeous! That's a wonderful blend of fabrics, and beautifully quilted too.

It is lovely. So awesome that you could finish it for her. Did you hand quilt it? in a hoop or frame?

my aunt thinks that this has become another UFO !!!! Won't she be surprised!!!

The other quilt i finished for her, she said she was disappointed that it didn't fit her bed. That's why i added the border on it.

Gorgeous! I love the way you did your borders!

I'm starting on my 6th flower and your quilt gives me a lot of inspiration!

Thanks for sharing!

Lovely-lovely quilt!

117becca 01-23-2011 06:33 PM

yes, i hand quilted it. My aunt pieced the center in the 50s or 60s...and i added the border in 2010. Gotta love those reproduction fabrics!

She told me once that it is an honor for her to look at a quilt and know that we worked on it together.

This is a fine, fine quilt. A real treasure. The piecing and quilting are supurb, and the border you added is perfect for the quilt.
