How to hand stitch a grandmother's flower garden block
#1

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So, that is what you will be getting. I'm not sure how I'll give instructions along. But, please bear with me. First you sew the middle hexagon to the first petal by placing them right sides together and stitching across the top. Then you place your second petal and sew it into the L of the two pieces.

no thimbles? when do you sleep? thanks for the pix, you seem to have no problems sewing them together...looks like it would keep me busy--now if I could just sit for more than a few minutes....LOL

It looks like you sew from edge to edge--not ending 1/4". Is that right? How do you press the seams?
This must be how my grandmother did her flower garden blocks, because I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have done EPP.
