At Easter my mother in law showed me her work in progress! She has patience that I don't have. She is hand stitching all of this quilt. It is going to be the grandmothers flower garden or something like that. These pieces have taken her 2 weeks. She works full time also though. It would take me that long to do one if I had to hand stitch anything.

Wow, that diamond joinery looks wonderful, and the colors are beautiful. It will be great.

WOW.... imgaine the beauty she is making there!

I commend anyone who hand stitches one of those.
When we were cleaning out my mom and dads house, I KNEW there was a Grandma's Flower Garden Quilt that my mom had started. I went looking for it, but found out my brother tossed it out to the dogs house. I was soooooo mad!!

WOW, that is gorgeous! :D

WOW. All that time. She is doing great.

UNBELIEVALBE!!! She must have the patience of a saint. What a wonderfull heirloom that is going to be.

That's beautiful! Would love to see it when it's finished.

It is going to be beautiful. A lot of work!

That is amazing! I like the way she is setting the blocks with little green diamonds between. Tell her "Nice Job!!" I think it's nice you and your mil share an interest in quilting.

It is beautiful...

Those are beautiful quilt blocks. I have two quilts in that pattern that my grandmother did many years ago. How they do that I don't know.

Beautiful beautiful! Your MIL is doing some mighty lovely work. I am so impressed with the tiny diamonds. I am currently working on a GMFG, but putting it together with green hex's. Those dimonds are just too small for me! I am doing the paper piecing method. I helps me to be a bit more accurate. What a beautiful quilt she is going to have!
