Whenever i feel stressed and don't want to sit behind the sewing machine but still want to feel accomplishing something i do hand work...it is so relaxing (i call it therapy sessions). This time i decided to start this for myself...yes that's right it will be my quilt. I have been quilting for 1 1/2 year and i still don't have one. How sad is that :-(
Hopefully 2-3 weeks from now i will have one to cuddle with.

Very nice, like it a lot!

Lovely

Looks great. Only 1 1/2 years quilting and you can do that! That's wonderful.

Love it.

I love it! Keep us posted :)

I love this. thanks for sharing

Great blocks. I love the combo of "old" and "new" in this quilt. It's going to look great finished, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

The type of applique I love, finished one like this not too long ago, you will love it.

beautiful work!! Don't feel bad, I've been quilting over 20 years and still haven't made one for myself. your doing a good job with your quilt.

Thank you all. So sweet of you. I am now deciding on the color of the next block...hmmmm

Are you serious????drop everything now and go start one for yourself....lol

I do not have one finished for myself but I thought would get one finished before winter and then remembered that my brother and wife are doing 50 years anniversany this year so there goes my quilt as am doing one for them and can not afford another lonq quilted right now but I will get there Yours is beautiful.

I love it. I am looking forward to seeing a post of the completed quilt.

Love the pattern and your blocks. Good for you to keep something for yourself.

Very nice work!!! I love GFG! And that is a neat way of using it! Thanks for sharing your pictures!

That is the one I work on in the car, or at the hospital. Someday I'll get it done. My health has improved so no long hospital stays. So it may take awhile. Can wait to see yours done.

Great job! :thumbup:

I too have a modified GFG that I will be making for my self. Yours is very pretty .

Enjoy~

Are the hexs hard ?

It is going to look beautiful! I LOVE hand-piecing (hand ANYTHING) and started my GFG on my last trip to Vanuatu. In 2 months there, I made nearly 30 flowers-I have no idea how many I need - I just kept making them! I have cut hex's for about another 20! Then to make the white hex's for the background! I go back overseas next month so I will probably finish the flowers and make a good start on the white hex's. I only work on that overseas since it is so portable. I hope someday to get them sewn together-I bet I'll have enough for 2 queen quilts! I don't really have a layout pattern, but I guess I'll figure that out when I think I have enough-I am just enjoying the hand-work so much! I love the added applique on your pattern! Will love to see it finished and what you have done with it!!

Lovely. Can't wait to see it finished!

What do you mean by hard? are you asking about the shape? if so i used freezer paper and that's why i am doing one block at a time so i can reuse the same papers instead of cutting more (that's a lot of waste ) and God knows when am i ever going to do one more like this

OMG that is a lot of hexies...lol you should make different layouts. I was searching online of different ones then i came across a magazine that i have that has the one i decided to use, but there is a lot more. Good luck and yes it is very good idea to take overseas instead of carrying a machine and all:)

very nice pattern choice. i finally finished one for myself. hopefully nothing comes up that says a quilt would be a nice gift.

beautiful.

Very nice!

very pretty

very nice and enjoy it.

I know what you mean but never making one for youself. That is going to be beautiful. Have fun making it.

Beautiful work - look forward to seeing the completed project.

Grandmothers flower garden update, love it.

ewww is that going to be nice?....love it!

Your work is so pretty!!! I know what you mean- I always have hand work available for when I just want to chill out and watch baseball but do a little sewing too :)

Love your gfg's!!!

Faten... Those are beautiful blocks.. I never paper pieced before, so when you called i did not know what to tell you, but, you figured it out, those blocks are perfect.. I can't wait to see the your quilt finished. It absolutely beautiful... How big are you making it? Wow is all I can say.. I would be proud too... You are doing great... :)

This is to Rae

That is a beautiful quilt. Is it in a magazine or a book. I am working on a hexagon quilt for myself as well. I am doing it in bright colours and black background. Enjoy the journey

Your blocks are beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

I have a whole bunch of those flowers that were given to me but the are made out of polester (sp) plus 2 boxes of the same material. Don't know what to do with them because I don't like the material. Flowers are all put together by hand also.

Very nice!
