Grandmother's flower garden, done!
 

In february 2012, I posted a thread asking for ideas on how to quilt my GFG and in my last post I said "Say tuned for the result in a year or two". Well, here it is. The hexagons are pieced and quilted by hand. I used a spice container cap to draw a line from one corner to the other using my Clover hera marker. The borders are hand appliqué. They are machine pieced and free hand motion quilted. I quilted around the appliqué and in the corners where there is no appliqué I quilted an echo of it.

Gasp!! Now that just an amazin' work o' art! :thumbup: Thank ya for postin' it here. :)

Congrats on this beautiful finish, completing a GFG is no small task. Great work!

It makes it a pretty intense quilting. You can really see the 2 different types of quilting pattern I used depending of the hexagon's place in the quilt. My fabric is the same green batik as in the front.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Love the board!!
