Someone asked me to post this. I started this in 2006 while my mom was still alive. She constantly commented on how much she loved it and the fact that her mother (my quilting inspiration from way, way back) would be so proud of me. I finished it about 2 months after mom died and she was the first one I wanted to call to tell.

Beautiful work...a lovely tribute to your mother and grandmother.

What a beautiful quilt!!! A wonderful tribute to the women in your family who inspired you to start quilting!

What a stunning quilt! And a very special one at that!

Gorgeous quilt and I am sure your mom and Grandma are both very proud and will one day tell you!

It's a beautiful quilt and I know what you mean about wanting to call your mom. Mine died last year and I still reach for the phone to call her.

Beautiful - love your color choices!

Such a gorgeous quilt you made!! and a wonderful tribute to yr mother!

beautiful!

I agree... :)

That is beautiful, and you deserve to be proud of what you accomplished. Your mom is cheering you on from above, and proud of your work.

Oh my. Such a beautiful quilt. Your mother would be so proud of you. I really like the yellow "path" My mother has been gone for nearly 20 years, and I still want to call her to tell her something special in my life. She did a GFG when I was about 10 or 12, and I have thought about it every sense. Finally did one a couple years ago. Thought of her the whole time making it. Do you have another in your head to do?!!

Well, I would love to do a double wedding ring for my daughter. However, I don't think I will English Paper piece like this one. However, she is fussy and I want her to pick the fabrics, so it won't be a surprise. She is getting married June 12th and I would love to have it done by then.

It's really nice and you have some connection to your mom with it.. lucky you!

It's a beautiful quilt and should bring back many good memories of your mom.

She knows you finished. I know all about wanting to pick that phone up and have the number dialed then realizing there's noone there. Thats very painful :( I lost an aunt who was sometimes like a mother to me and other times a big sister. Its been almost 3 years, and I still find myself wanting to dial her number to tell her about stuff that happens. My mom tells me all the time she would be so proud of me, making quilts. She was the crafty one in the family, she could make anything.
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful :)

So beautiful Christine. Your Mother and Grandmother have already been able to see it. :) Im working on one too and I cant wait. Thank you for sharing.

So beautiful! Love it! Your Mom and Grandmom would be so proud.

Very pretty :D:D:D

Absolutely fabulous!
I love the yellow "path", have not seen one with a yellow path before but it brightens the whole quilt.

I love it! I've been working on one of those for a few months in my spare time. Its one of those projects that you take with you to the docs office and such. Havent gotten very far with it, but theres no hurry. Love the yellow.

This is so beautiful. My grandmother made one too. I sat at her knee and threaded her needle for her when I was a preschooler. I've worked on some flowers, but have trouble getting them lined up into a garden.

What a wonderful quilt - I really love the bright yellow fabric in between. I think it gives the quilt an old fashioned look.
What is the meassure of the hexagon you have used?
