Grandmother's Flower Garden
 

This latest finish is a quilt top I bought from eBay years ago and quilted it... years ago. I never put the binding on until last week so it's a completed UFO. Yay! It's an older gfg but not vintage, I think. Perhaps the 80's.

a nice finish

What a delight to have this one.

Beautiful!!!

that is beautiful!!!

It's Lovely!

Still, there is always something special about GFG quilts.

That is a real beauty. Congratulations on finishing it.

very pretty!

I "original owner" would be so proud of your finish.

I love that pattern. Nice work. Congrats on getting a UFO done.

very nice, it is on my bucket list....:)

beautiful!!! And jealous of the looks of the weather. had to pull out the heavy sweater today(& tomorrow). I refuse to put on my heavy winter coat...

Wonderful quilt! I always am happy when an older quilt gets finished.

Beautiful! How did you quilt it? Looking for ideas if/when I get mine done!

This quilt was hand pieced and in keeping with that I went with the traditional hand quilting 1/4" inside each hexie all around. I just love that look. I will post another picture that shows the quilting better.

It's a beauty.

Maybe this pic shows the quilting better. Thanks for the great comments.

I like that quilting around each hexie takes pressure off of the seams in case they are not real strong. This top has great hand sewing but not whip stitched, which would be stronger I would think.

Beautiful.

If its from the '80s it is vintage. The rule is antiques are 100 yrs. or older but vintage is 25 yrs. So you have a beautiful, vintage, GFG in your collection.

Looks terrific - and I know how it feels to finish something that's been hanging around - WONDERFUL!

So pretty!

Beautiful fabric colors

That is lovely

That's very pretty - great job.

pretty hexie from yesteryear -- looks like lots of [too much for me] handwork.....the yellow centers are what makes that such a classic...

I think it is old enough to be a vintage top. "They" say that anything, china, etc., is vintage after age 25.

Beautiful!!

Looks great.

Beautiful quilt and finishing.

What a lovely quilt! You did a wonderful job on it!

Congratulations on finishing, it's a beautiful GFG

What a beauty! GFG has been on my bucket list forever. Yours looks doable. Please tell me how big the hexies are, how many there are and the dimensions of your quilt. You have inspired me! Thanks for posting it.

Very pretty and congratulations on the great finish!

Nice Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt.

It looks awesome, great finish!

Sure!! The quilt is 78" X 93". The hexies are point to point 2 3/8". It does look doable, I haven't mustered the courage to piece one yet but I want to. I have a UFO GFG that my aunt gave me that I hope to finish someday.

Thanks!

Well, I had it in my head that vintage was 40 yrs. old. I couldn't say where that number came from. Hard for me to wrap around my head that stuff from the eighties is now vintage. Thinking that's going to get worse. I do have some wedding gifts that are now vintage so it makes sense.

Very nice quilt and always nice to get a UFO completed.
