    So pretty. I've been working on a "Grandmother's Flower Garden" for years. Just keep adding more handwork projects. I also have the same quilt top made by my great great grandmother, given to me by my mother. Grandma's is original 30's fabrics, many from dresses my mother wore as a little girl. Mine is 30's reproductions. It's fun to see it in other fabrics.

    This is really beautiful. I immediately purchased the templates to make this. I just love to EPP quilts. I like how you made the center flower different like in the original quilt.

    Question: how much fabric did you use for the white/cream on the front? I want to make sure I have enough so I don't run out.

    I've used my hexies to accent other quilts but a whole quiltful is beautiful.
