Twenty Five years in the making

 

I started this Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt 25 years ago. I love making hexagons and English Paper piecing is so relaxing, with the added advantage you can take it with you and work on it anywhere. It's been through four house moves and four pregnancies with me.  I've worked on it sometimes for days on end, and at other times I haven't touched it for months. It contains bits and pieces of fabric from dresses, kids clothes and charity shops. It's not 100% cotton, it was started at a time in Galway when it was a huge struggle to get quilting supplies. Now, finally I'm starting to quilt it. Hopefully it won't take another 25 years to finish it..
