Chairjogger, are you talking about my avatar? (I was talking above about already doing a reg GFG)

I found it in a very old magazine. I enlarged it & counted each hex to make my pattern. Mine is changed ever so slightly from the reg one. The one I found did not have the flowers in the 4 corners & I thought it needed them to balance out the quilt?

This is a very large Queen sized one.(almost too big to be a queen)

If you were not talking to me, I apologize.

Oh Lulu

What a beautiful quilt, I remember back in the 80's helping my ward sister to make a hexagon cot quilt for her first grandchild, this was also hand pieced. She had about 7 of us sitting around the table at every coffee & lunch break going to help so it was completed in next to no time. :D
Such a shame you've had to undo it, :( then again it would have aggravated me also if it wasn't perfect.
Your selection of fabrics you have usedare georgous, so bright & fresh, where did you aquire them. What size are you intending on making it into.

Please post more pictures once completed I would love to see the end result.

I bought it a local quilt when I was living in Southern California. Can you believe I haven't found quilt shop around since I've moved to Northern Virginia?

Dear Riley,
Yes, I was talking to you. There are few variations of the original Garndmother's Garden published. I really like this variation!
Thanks for writing to me.
