    awesome, God love her! I also make English PP hex's while watching TV, hand work is relaxing for me. But I am just getting started and have not made any where near as many as she has. Send her my thoughts and prayers. Sheila in IL

    I can only hope and pray to have the dexterity to accomplish what your mother has at that age. Amazing. I especially like the yellow one with the butterfly in the center.

    I set out the silk one that you love and make that into a little wallhanging for you. You'll smile every time you look at it.
    Then I'd ask her which set she loves the most and get going on her quilt. It looks like she has several different sets going.
    They are beautiful - good for her!

    My GOODNESS, Mother has been one busy lady. She must enjoy the process. There are many pictures of "Grandmother's Flower Garden" quilts on this board if you need ideas for arranging.
