I'm also doing a Grandmother's Flower Garden for similar reasons - to have something to do with my hands while sitting by the side of the pool during my son's swim practices! Can't just sit there.
I inherited an old GFG quilt when I was a young woman, used the heck out of it, washed it, etc. Until it literally fell apart. Now I'll have a new one!
Thanks for sharing yours, it spurs me on.

It is beautiful, I love yellow and it is a great background for your flower blocks. I have finished repairing and comopleting a Grandmother's Garden from the 1930's for my sweet Daughter in Law. I am now hand quilting it and it is taking forever.

I find it very easy to do in the car. I have all my pieces cut and in plastic bags in my small sewing kit. You only do one seam at a time and I have a small swatch of material that I pin to my shirt and put the pins I'm using for the pieces in it.I have small scissors on a lanyard. The only thing I do much different when I'm in the car is I load one needle at a time, where as at home I generally load four or five. I may look a little nutty when I forget to unpin the cloth on my clothes and go in somewhere to eat. Hand piecing is so much easier that machine piecing, it just takes lots longer.
