Oh its just beautiful! That is one of my all time favorite patterns. Yours looks so vintage with the green "paths". I just can't wait to see it quilted.... such a beauty!! LOVE IT.

Just beautiful, I see you managed to get your pics uploaded.

you do lovely work, I wish I could finish mine. I started it and then about 12 flowers into it I decided ...well maybe we could do something smaller or different! Love the quilt beside it also!

Both quilts are just stunning, I have always liked Gdmfg pattern. Good luck with your handquilting.

That just makes me smile! It's beautiful. I can't wait to see it all quilted. Now, you've just got to show a pic of the quilt next to it.

Fabulous GFG. I'm trying to finish piecing mine and can't wait to get to the stage you're at.

Very pretty.

I am hand-quilting a GFG also, with some help my my guild friends. Mine is huge and I hope to have it quilted by end of February. Have been working on it for 6 months a little at a time. We can encourage each other. Yours is lovely. I did not do the top of the one I am working on. I had an internet friend send it to me because she no longer wanted it. I was truly lucky to receive it.

Vanuatu Jill 02-01-2012 06:54 PM

Wow, Don, it has come out beautifully! What a masterpiece! Very "vintage" looking!

Treasureit 02-01-2012 06:55 PM

That reminds me of my Grandmothers...enjoy the hand quilting!

Beautiful quilt. Have fun hand quilting it. I wouldn't have the patience for that. Can't wait to see it quilted.

I love Grandmother's flower Garden. I have three, one not finished from the 1900's, one from the 30's and one from the 80's. They are all beautiful. I didn't make any of them but am thinking about finishing the old one.

Love both quilts. What a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing...your work is inspiring!

I'm working on a GFG, king size. I'm almost finished with the top. But, I'm not sure how to quilt it. I love hand quilting, but don't want to quilt around each hexagon, as I've done before w/a baby quilt; that would take far too long on one this size, (and I don't have much time in the day to work on it). I'm kinda thinking about maybe quilting the center hex "round", like the inside of a flower, then working the remainder in the petals. What are your plans to quilt your GFG?SandyinZ4, what is the quilting pattern that you are doing on yours?

gramarraine 02-02-2012 08:07 AM

Your quilt is beautiful. Mine looks very similar to yours. Can't wait to get it finished to the quilting stage. Have one more row to finish.

oma66 02-02-2012 08:13 AM

Wow! It is fabulous and it is going to be a lot of work to hand quilt it...but well worth the effort. what a treasure.

kandee 02-02-2012 08:17 AM

Jammin' Jane 02-03-2012 09:44 AM

Beautiful job. I've always loved this pattern. Maybe someday I will be brave enough to try it.
