    I made this quilt about 10 years ago and I'm finishing the one my Mom started. It took me 2 years for mine and yes I did it all by hand. Hand piecing is very calming for me.

    What a find. Good luck with the hand quilting - it's just perfect for that job and will show off all that beautiful work.

    I wonder how many of us have one of those flower gardens started. I do, all hand pieced. Now to do something with it. You rescued a beautiful quilt and someone in your family will love all the work you put into it.

    It is so beautiful. I had one like that crib size that my great-grandmother made for me 71 years ago. Gave it to my daughter. She framed it.

    Beautiful quilt, love the Grandmothers' Flower Garden pattern. I'm so glad you are going to give it the finish it deserves. Good for you.
