Forgive me if some of you remember....but, i'm hand-quilting a Grandmother's Flower Garden that my 80 yr old aunt pieced together back in the 50s/60s.

I finished one for her last summer and she was disappointed that it didn't fit her full-size bed. So, when i decided to finish this, I added a border so that it will fit her bed or the bed in the guest bedroom....

I'm doing a traditional hand-pieced GFG and it's astounding how time consuming it is!! But also wonderful and worth it. Your quilting looks great and the quilt looks brand new.

Love it! Your quilting is excellent! Wish I had the time and patience to do that!
