One Flower Wednesday
It's been sometime again since i posted about my hexagons. I've nearly finished sewing them together.
I've got 8 blooms left to sew on the last row & them 10 stepping stones. Not sure if i'm keen on sewing binding around all those hexagon shape & i'm considering appliqueing the top to borders. What do you think? then there is the choice of what colour fabric to choose for the borders.

Jeanette is is beautiful , one suggestion I have is to sandwich the whole thing and sew around and flip it inside out , that is how the old Grandmothers Flower garden quilt I have was done , worth thinking about.I can send you a picture of it if you like. Hugs.
whow Jeanette this is fantastic and boy look at all the work that has gone into this,i like the idea of appliqueing the top to borders,well done girl
Wow your quilt look great and all that hard work.
It's looking really wonderful. Such fun to watch the progress you've made with these. Since you asked, I'm one who prefers straight borders. I think it's easier to use a straight-edged quilt. So my opinion would be to applique it to a border fabric. What size is this going to finish at?
Oh how exciting seeing it soo close to being finished.
I have chosen to give straight edges - A few weeks back on my blog I shared how a lady kath showed me how she did hers & I'm following her
There is soo many choices in the finishing aye
Love how yours has turned out.
Love Leanne
Wow Jeanette you are flying along with these hexies. They look really lovely :) hugs

Hi Jeanette, this is looking beautiful - well done on your progress. I, too, prefer straight edges and am going to try sewing straight borders onto mine - I have seen it done but cant describe it until I have given it a go!!
Jeanette, you have been very busy! So nice!!! I too prefer straight edges and like the applique idea. My border is going to be made of all hexagons, but I hope to somehow straighten the edges with half hexagons or if that doesn't work, design a template to square things off. Fingers crossed!
Beautiful. I've only done this for the front of a vest, doing a quilt top is amazing and a lot more work. Thanks for sharing.
Just beautiful. I love Sheila's idea for finishing it.
Just simply stunning!
I made my first patchwork/grandmothers garden at the young age of 16 - I still have it here (in Narnia/my work room) still deciding what I will do with it .. .. .. so looking forward to seeing how you finish yours
Very nice your flowers and the colours are lovely.
Gr Annemieke.
Just gorgeous Jeanette. I have been reading all the hints because that's what's stopped me completing mine..the how to?
Wow! Your quilt is looking great. That's a lot of Wednesdays.
Jeanette that looks fantastic you must be so very pleased...
ooooooh pretty!!!!!!...love it jeanette...since its for my bed do i get to choose the border fab?..hehe just kidding..well done!!!..pami xox
Gorgeous! You could use half hexies around the outer edge to give yourself a straight edge to add borders.
Oh My God! Your garden is huge and also fabulous. I only have three rows sewed yet. Congratulations on your excellent work.
Your garden looks beuatiful. as I am no where near putting my flowers togther in a quilt I have no idea how to do borders etc. Sorry.
Just beautiful!!!!
It's beautiful, so many different fabrics.
I love your garden, beautyful colorful flowers ! ! !
Gr. Hennie.
wow your Quilt is really growing ...it looks Beautiful..
I'm with you I would applique to a background..OR..cut the edges off to give you straight seams for a border...
cheers.
Wow, irre ganz schön groß!
Die Farbwahl finde ich auch immer am schwierigsten.
Liebe Grüße!
Wow - your Flower Garden is really beautiful, how large is your top? You did a great job on that one, I must say.
