    This was my across country road trip project. Now that gas has gone crazy for my deisel truck I decided to finish it. You can't see very well in the picture but the background fabric is tiny purple circles. This is the only quilt I have have every made in 30's fabric or with handwork. Since then I've learned you can sew the hexagons with the machine. This quilt seems to make me cheery.

    BEAUTIFUL!!!! I am working on a GFG/I Spy quilt. Doing it all by hand too. I am fussy cutting most of the fabric. I will post pics in 5 - 10 years when it is done. :roll: Yours is really pretty.

    Beautiful work. I would like to make a GFG, but something always seems to get in the way. Saving up scraps, though.
