It is to die for! I wouldn't let anyone sit on it, that's for sure! I have one question though. Did you applique those flowers onto a background or did you do the white in hexagons also?

I tried putting them together with other hexagons and didn't like it so took it apart and then appliqued each to a burgundy back ground. Then quilted as I went. Cut batting and backing and quilted each block seperately and then attached all with a 1 1/2 strip between and had enough on back to fold and stitch by hand to finish. Turned out pretty good.

I have a Cricut scrapping booking machine. I cut my hexs with my circut. I'm new to EPP and I tried cardstock, paste board (boxes of my cake mixes) and a heavy plastic sheet that is meant for front and back of printed booklets. I like the cardstock the best. I punched a hole in the middle and remove the template as soon as I have that piece with hexs all around. I'm using templates more than once. If I run out of templates (as my project grows) I cut another page of them out with my Cricut.

I use Inklingo to print on the back of the fabric .

The one I am working on (since July 2008) I printed the hexagons from www.incompetech.com on regular paper. It is light weight and very portable. If you want something more substantial, I have used the renewal cards that come in magazines, you just have to trace and cut out all the hexagons.

I love GFGs! I use by Kate rubber stamp templates. You can find them on ByKate.com in seven sizes. Some do's include making each flower with half the background hexagons sewn in place. If you make only the flowers, then it is boring to add all the background pieces! Hope this helps. Kathleen

I use the paper pieces also. Saves time cutting nd they are all the same size. I am back to working on mine again. My kids call mine "moms insanity". I am using 1" hexagons and just scrappy.

I'm working on this one right now. I rotary cut all my pieces, marked the stitching line with a pencil, and started piecing by hand. Very portable, very easy to piece.
Good luck.

I am a big fan of Inklingo too. <G>
Love all the shapes and sizes of patterns Linda Franz has available in Inklingo collections. Good for hand or machine or combination/hybrid work.

By the way...has anyone ever heard of the Aunt Jemima (Grandmother) Flower Garden? Would love to learn more. I inherited 122 pieces of a flower garden and still don't know how best to use the pieces. Fabrics are from the 30's.
Any ideas? Please share. Thanks so much.
