Grandmother's Flower Garden top FINALLY finished!!!!
 

Well, it's only taken me a little under 3 years to finish the top working on it on and off. The entire thing is hand sewn and there are a total of 1,132 hexagons that I have sewn around twice. The finished size is 112 1/4 by 92 inches, so a queen with a pillow tuck. I will be hand quilting it in the traditional method starting this winter, but since I still have to piece the back together and baste it I will still be working on it.

Thanks for looking!!

This is sew pretty, and well worth the time it took to make.

Beautiful! Quite an accomplishment, you should be very proud!!

Gorgeous! Wish I had your clothesline.

That quilt is gorgeous! You must be so proud! Please post a pic when it is completed

Amazing. I like that you did a couple of blocks different.

It looks great!!

absolutely beautiful quilt! careful stretching the edge, as a quilter it makes us cringe

Beautiful top and you have a right to be so proud.

Lots of handwork, so nicely done!

It's Beautiful! Congrats on finishing the top. I'm working on one but it will take quite a while. Good Job.

Beautiful! You have much more patience that I do--and this quilt is your reward.

this is so beautiful! i have only made a handful of these little hexies and i would love someday to have the patience to make a whole quilt. you are amazing and this is going to be a treasure forever. please share pics when you get it quilted! it is going to be beautiful!

This quilt is a true work of art. You did an amazing job. I have a grandma's flower garden that my Mother made. It too is a treasure. I made one block at a quilting class one time. I would love to make a quilt. My Mother's is completely hand done. Thank you for posting yours. I love it.

Beautiful! Such a classic!

Beautiful work. I admire your skill.

very nice......

It is beautiful and you sure have a lot of patience to do this! Will look forward to seeing it when it is finished - great job!

lovely it .....I just started one of these....

Beautiful. I would not have the patience to make one.

Its beautiful !!!!

I know! I hung it up, snapped the pictures and took it back down again. There wasn't anywhere to display it inside so the clothes line it was. All in all, I don't think it was hanging there for more than 5 minutes though.

Beautiful! I admire those of you that have the patience for all that handwork!!

wow, that's awesome. but i wish you hadn't told me how many hexies LOL because it may scare me from starting one :)

Absolutely beautiful. Well worth the time and work you put into it.

That is so nice, I like the colours in the quilt.

I like the way you changed up some of the centers and the way you treated the edge with smaller flowers. It has a wonderful old fashioned feel to it. Very, very nice.
peace

Absolutely beautiful!

definitely something to be proud of. great job.

I do too. I did the same flower setting that you did along your side on the top and bottom edge of mine. CONGRATULATION on getting the top finished. Mine is still hanging in the closet.

Very pretty..I did a king sized one by hand once! It took me 3 years.

Beautiful. Looking good so far.

I love grandmother's flower gardens. Yours is very pretty! I have never counted the hexies in any of mine. That is a lot of hexies!!

Love it, you did a great job.

I like what you did with the smaller side flowers. They pop in a very visual way. The top and bottom half blocks moving the "flower" center down so it is whole works well too. A lot of creativity as well as work has gone into this top.

Beautiful!!! "Grandmother" would be so proud. I love what you did along the edges....but can you tell us what you are thinking of for the binding....i would love to know your plan to go around all those hexies. PLEASE tell.

what a joyful garden!

Wow, I love the border fill ins you put in. I have never seen that before.

I'm thinking it is going to be bias binding, which I've never done before, so that will be a first as well. I was considering facing it but I folded squares around the papers so some places it is a little more than a 1/4 in the back. Of course, I need to quilt it first!

Beautiful, how are you going to bind & quilt it?
