I finally finished by first GFG - sewn by hand. I started out with a twin size in mind but changed to a lap quilt as it progressed. I didn't know how bad my hands could hurt after working on this quilt! The quilting will be done by machine for sure! Gives me a whole new appreciate for anything hand quilted. I'll post some pictures when I get that figured out.

I am starting one too.
I like that it is a truly mobile project. I do a few while waiting for my kid finish a sum, and I can bring it anywhere.
My hexagons have 1 inch sides. I estmate it will take me a few years to get it done (working on and off). I told my kid - you know why it called Grandmother's flower garden? Because I would be a grandmother by the time it is done!
Yes, about quilting, I've seen a few on ebay. Like this vintage GFG below won at $600+.
(This is not mine. This is a vintage quilt on ebay. The auction that just ended a few days ago.)

It is quilted around the hexagons. The overall effect is stunning. But I would never be able to do that! 100% admiration for anyone who does this!
