Hello fellow quilters,

I am embarking on my first Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt with 1 inch hexagons. I know that there are regular little one inch hexagon papers that have traditionally been used. However, as I was researching, I also found iron on papers that fuse to the hexagon and partially wash off, leaving about t0 percent of the fibers behind after being washed. I was wondering whether others had worked with these iron on fusible papers and what your experience was. Is it better to simply use the simple papers and pull them out after? I am recreating an actual 1920’s quilt given to my grandmother for her wedding. It is in lovely pastels. Each flower has the yellow center. My fabric has just arrived and I am so excited to start! I look forward to hearing of your experiences

Thank you!
