    Default Another Kind of Grandmother's Flower Garden

    I love more than ever the English paper piecing technique. For years I kept saying myself that I don't have enough patience for hand sewing but I was so wrong.
    It was a quick project, with only 200 pieces.The sphere is 30'' in diameter.

    Your creation is just beautiful and it looks like you have a lot of patience. Are you making a quilt or is this a wallhanging? Either way wonderful.
