Wow! that is awesome. There are some many variations that each "garden" is a work of art.

Dear Carslo: You are right--it is a life work! LOL! Seriously, though, you might take a look at the book "English Paper Piecing by Machine". It shows how to do the flowers by machine, joining each flower with a tiny zig-zag using invisible thread. Mine looks fabulous! (Although I am a couple of years from being through!) But the best part of it is, the author uses a large octagon in your background color as a base to machine-applique each completed flower to. Then you join the seams of the large octagon, and it looks just like you used a gazillion little octagons to make your pathway! Once it is quilted you really cannot tell it is not little individual pieces.

A word of warning, though-- the measurements she gives in the book for the large background octagons are not large enough; I had to enlarge it a good bit. I don't know how to upload pictures (I am electronically impaired) and my son who does it for me is on his honeymoon, so I can't help with a picture-- but look up this book. The author's name is Julie Higgins, and it is published by House of White Birches.

It took me about 15 years to finish mine. I worked on it at the beach, county music concerts, doctors offices, etc. I must make it clear the top is finished, I haven't quilted it yet. Hopefully it won't take me another 15 years. LOL

Your pieces are lovely variations, you just need to choose one color that will bring them together and make them stand out. Do keep going.

I like this a lot - love the "walkway" color - very neutral, doesn't compete with the blocks or other decor.

I love these! Finish what you've started and think of it as a cottage garden.

I like it. Maybe keep going and it looks like a more modern flower garden. If you plan on selling your flowers please pm. They are lovely!

I have a 2 inch hexagon quilt I have been working on for years and may never finish. Then I bought a template for a 5 inch hexagon and they make giant flowers. I may actually finish it.

It looks like Spring has sprung with all your flowers! Keep going...they look great!

Put a pathway and it will be lovely. It will take time and you don't have to finish it tomorrow. Just have it as one of those projects you can take along with you. Very nice job on flowers
