Your GFG looks beautiful. I am attending a start up EPP Club which starts in two weeks...can't wait! In surfing the web last night I came across a blog where the gal had done Quilt as you go on her GFG. Each "flower was made of center and 2 or 3 rows and then backed, quilted and added to the quilt. Would anyone have instructions on this? Of course, I wandered on w/o bookmarking the site and now I cannot find it! Urggg!

I have been working on my hexagon (not your typical GFG) since 2008. It is almost finished. It is definitely one of those projects that I get bored with and put aside then see what others are doing and get motivated to work on it again. I just never put it too far away in my sewing room so I can find it.
Good luck and don't get discouraged. Your flowers are looking great, especially the fussy cut ones! I too have blues if you want a trade. PM me

You may have given me the solution to a problem that's been bothering me for over 30 years. When we built an addition on our house we put in blue fixtures in the bathroom. For me that was the wrong thing to do. I see colors differently with each eye, and I suspect that's what makes me very sensitive to colors that don't match. I can never seem to find towels/shower curtain/rugs/curtains that make me happy in that room. Perhaps a wall hanging like your GFG with all sorts of blues will make it easier to find and use blues that won't drive me crazy, because they won't have to match just the fixtures perfectly. Thank you! And, if you'd like some more blues to add to your hexagons, please PM me, also.

http://sadiasews.com/sd2011.html Would this happen to be the site you wandered into? It looks like perhaps each flower is appliqued to a block and quilted, then each block was quilt as you go.

I also have been working on a GFG for about 8 years english paper pieced - I am about halfway thru hand quilting it now and only work on it Thursday nights when some fellow quilters and I get together - am hoping to finish it in the next year or two - now that is a UFO I will be glad to see done and probably the only one made entirely by hand. will share a pic - someday!
