Honey, I just started my GFG. I have one block done. The one quilt I have of my grandmothers in good condition is a GFG. I love the pattern. I probably won't live long enough to finish it, but am going to try. I ordered the 1 1/4 precut shapes from paperpieces.com. I cut 3 1/2 " squares. I put the shape on the square and trim the corners etc. Then I baste all around and sew them together. I am using a Kona cotton yellow, it goes with the 30"s in the middle. Then I am using a darker color around it. Then the last row is a lighter color. When finished it makes a 11" block. You can actually reverse the color placement. I'd send a pic, but haven't learned how to do it using the computer. Good luck with your project, keep us updated. I usually work on mine at night in between redwork etc. It is a good project to take with you too. I am so happy others have the same love for the pattern. Happy sewing !
