Very clever....not the usual profusion of colours...I like it very much, more true to nature.

The total quilt will be hand pieced, also all the Hex blocks will be hand quilted. Then it will be taken to the machine quilter to gave the cross hatching and outer border a special look that I can't achive with hand quilting along. I feel that the combination of the two quilting will be beautiful.

The other I machine quilted. I guess I should send pictures some day.

Dear Lucyb
Thank you, I would be pleased if you used my idea for your Flower Garden. You will find that if you do, you will have to make all the hex blocks complete before you can start to piece the quilt. You will need to do as I did and make a pattern that will be your road map in putting the quilt together.
