    I think I would put all like colors together (like all those with pink in it or blue in it) and try to put them in some kind of pattern. Maybe the flowers with blue(if there are enough) go on the outside and those with pink go inside the blues and so on. Hope that makes sense.

    I agree with amandasgramma a pathway around it would really set it off. I love the flowers so far. :):):)

    You are a better person than I. Even though I've quilted for about 25 years... don't think I'm ready for this challenge. Good luck and GOD bless!

    Since they have been a thorn in your side and continuing to piece them is not your thing, back them individually and give them as gifts as a centerpiece setting either solo or with candle sticks. They are a lovely accent that can be enjoyed by many

    I think your flowers are beautiful but I have to be honest and also say, I don't get it! GFG's are something I probably would never aspire to. But that's why they make different flavors of ice cream and different materials, patterns, etc. I don't have to get it as long as you do. They really are pretty and I wish you luck in finishing your project.

    After reading 7 pages of comments about your quilt & the ideas for it , I feel I must say... Think long & hard, if you give/sell the pieces, will you or someone in your family regret it 10 or 25 years from now? Or as some have suggested does it really need to be morffed(sp?) into several other items in order to make you happy that you did something of worth without wasting all the time & material you put into the project? Don't give yourself a bad time if it doesn't end up exactly how you pictured when you started it, artists are alowed creative expression & sometimes that means a totally different project than the one we started!
    (I have a yet unfinished GFG, that may morf into a table cloth....??? I'll let you know in a few years when I finish! LOL!)

    After seeing and participating in the worlds biggest Grandmas Flower garden quilt I think your blocks look alright to me. just join them together as they are or if you wish put a neutral colored pieces around each garden block.
