Love the grandmother flower garden quilt and have just started one. I am using the 30's fabric. I am also a scrapbooker. I have a hexogan punch that I use to punch out the paper pieces so they are perfect every time, using a light weight cardstock. I really like the idea of using the cards out of a magazine. I'm going to try that. I am new to quilting so hoping this works well. Have only made 5 hex's and they seem to be going ok. Good luck.
