I want to make a Grandmother Flower Garden quilt.
But as much as I like to stitch hexagons, I realize that, if I would work on it alone, there is no chance to finish it in less than 5 years!So I thought that the best thing would be to make the quilt for my mother and all her 4 daughters to work on it.

All her life, my mother made for us the most amazing knitting clothes. So it is our turn to make something for her. All my sisters are excited!
I made kits for us all.
The technique seams easy for them and we all started to sew.
We are using 3/4″ hexagons and, if I did correctly the math, we will need about 80 flowers.
These are the flowers that I and Nina stitched last night, until 1 AM. It seems it takes about 4.5 hours for stitching a flower. I don’t want to calculate how much time we need to stitch them all.
I will join these flowers with dark (probably brown) small diamonds.
And just when I thought that my youngest sister probably can’t stitch too many flowers, as she has a little baby, she called me to say that she stitched until the middle of the night.So we all are happily stitching hexagons !
Isn’t baby Alex adorable ? A quilt for him is next in line.
What a cutie you have there…..
Love the hexies…as always you do such wonderful work.
So glad I came across your blog…..way over in Romania. I love those hexies….grandmothers flower garden is one of my favorite blocks. My grandmother made me a quilt years ago and it's a treasure! Enjoy all the lovely inspiration on your blog!! I am planning to make the cute Notebook and pencil case you have listed with wonderful tutorial instructions! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!! Look forward to visiting your blog often.
What a wonderful idea. She will love it all that much more knowing you all had a hand it.
Now that is what I call 'one cute kid'.
What a great group project. It's going to be wonderful. And the baby is just too cute!
Geta, I love the way you put the kits together. That alone is great inspiration. The kits are so pretty and would be like getting a gift in and of themselves. Way to go!
Your mom will be thrilled with the quilt, especially because of the love stitched into it.

What a great idea for all of you to work together! Great kits. You know, your fabric choices for these are fabulous, such an old-fashioned pattern but you gave it a modern feel, I love it! What a cute baby too!
My baby Alex has grown and so cute. Your mother will love a quilt made by her daughters.
The baby is very pretty!!! I like the quilt!
