Ta dah! Here is my latest Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt top, the result of several years of hand sewing in hotel rooms, on vacations and at odd moments at home when I needed hand work. And to be clear, it’s hand pieced; I only do English paper piecing on tiny hexes. Each side of these hexes measures 1.5″.
This was a lot of fun to piece.
I try to avoid buying Christmas fabric (and Halloween too!) but it calls to me in fabric stores!
What’s great about a Grandmother’s Flower Garden sort of design is that it combines lots of fabrics that would not look good right next to each other.
I plan to piece the backing as well, with some of the bigger Christmas prints, which will reduce the stash a bit… I would have liked to get it quilted for Christmas this year, but because of its size, it’s low on the machine quilting list.
It’s wonderful! Love the skating cat and dog. This is making me want to make another GFG–like I need another project.
That is the happiest GFG I have ever seen! I love it!!
Thanks so much Louann! It was so much fun to make. I have such a collection of Christmas fabric that doesn’t “match” so this was a good way to use it.
