Back with a slow update on this English Paper Piecing Grandmother’s flower garden quilt project. I am so happy to report an update since I didn’t touch the project at all in 2024! Can’t believe that the year simply passes without me touching this project at all, not even basting any of the hexagons. O well what’s passed is passed. 

This project is on my list of projects I listed in my 2025 challenge plans HERE>  I would love to continue the momentum with this quilt all the way in 2025. Hoping to make a significant progress for this quilt. 

Grandmother’s Flower Garden Progress

My first post of this project was back here in this post where I share the free printable quotes. I still love seeing the quotes as I’m working with the hexagons. I made another full grandmother flower block. The one with a blue outer rounds. I am mixing in two different fabrics as I am running out of fabrics. The fabric is an old fabric line by Bonnie and Camille and surely are long out of prints. I did add a few more fabric from a different collection but mostly they are the fabric from the collection “Simple Abundance”.

The pattern is the English Paper Piecing Grandmother’s flower garden from the book “Handful of Scraps” by Edyta Sitar. There are so many great patterns in this book and I wish I could make them all. But if this project takes me 10 years, that can only mean I won’t have the capacity to do all the quilts in this book in my lifetime. LOL. But there are so many other projects in there that are not English paper piecing, so I may eventually get a few more quilts from the book.
