Grandmother's flower garden


I have to post this in it's current state because blogs may be obsolete by the time I finally finish it!
This is a good example of the journey being as important as the destination. I did not inherit a traditional grandmother's flower garden quilt so I felt I needed to make my own. Each rosette takes about 3 hours of peaceful, meditative hand piecing using the English paper piecing method.
I get burned out and put it away...then bring it out and start again....it was a good thing to do last night when I needed to stay off of my feet because of tendonitis...
(Read more about this on my April 1st post on Indigo Pears....)
