Grandmother's Flower Gardens
I just posted these after a request on my Tutorial for hand stitching the Grandmother's flower garden blocks. Then I thought that some people who don't look at the tutorial section might like to see these older quilts. These were the first ones that I did. My MIL already had most of the pieces cut out. So, the fabrics and the colors were of her choosing. But, during her era, these were popular colors. Brings back a lot of old memories. MIL was in her late 80's when she taught me how to put the hexies together. She is gone now. But, I hope to carry on and hand the torch over to the next generation of quilters. If you'd like to see how these are sewn by hand, check out my tutorial.http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...k-t247599.html

So sweet of you to remember your MIL by completing these and enjoying an old passion for many quilters. I have one of these in the works, but hurry to finish it yet....It is my sit and relax project. I Love working on it when we go away and I have time to kill.
