grandmothers flower garden!


A few weeks ago I got together with some of my sweet Sil's and Mother in Law to work on some quilts for Japan!! We each worked on a quilt top and pretty much got that done during the day!! Working with the sample squares made it quick, easy and fun!! Also, anytime you get together and have a sewing day with friends or family it always ends up being a blast!! Always lots of laughs!!

In the evening and the next day Tasha and I worked more on our quilts, and got them quilted!! All I had to do was the binding, which took me a couple extra weeks to get that done (I got a bit sidetracked with the fwqa blocks :).

I did a grandmothers flower garden quilt in a disappearing nine patch!! With the squares so large it really came together so quickly!! I love how you can see each print and it really showcases the Grandmothers Flower Garden collection!!

Doesn't the quilt look pretty in the flower garden!! :)

A couple close-ups!

Tasha and I's quilts together! Tasha did a Chum Chum Bear disappearing 9 patch with some of the Grandmothers Flower Garden fabrics too! I love how they look together!



Now I need to get these packed up and sent to Lecien, along with the other ones!! Hopefully they will all be loved by some families in Japan!!

    I love the disappearing 9 patch. They are quick to make and yours looks great in those fabrics. A beautiful and desperately needed gift.
