I can't believe how long it's been since I blogged about Mae's Grandmother's Flower Garden--way back in January when we laid it out on the floor. (I'm not counting when I admitted to my big whoopsie the other day. That has been fixed and forgotten about.)
Row 5 was sewn on last night and blocks for rows 6 and 7 are ready attention. She asked me the other day if her flower quilt was ready for her to cuddle up in. I had to admit that I hadn't been working on it much. She tells me in her super sweet voice that I need to forget all this other stuff--imagine a cute little toe head waving her hand over my knitting and crochet projects--and only work on her flowers. She is in such a hurry for her quilt. It makes me smile every time I remember out conversation......I told that story here.
Since that conversation, this Gramma has been stitching away every evening. It takes one good evening to stitch the blocks into a row. Then a night or 2 to sew the row on. So there has been a lot of Slow Stitching here at Gramma's Quilting (Living)Room.

Oh my goodness Judy... how can you resist such sweetness and encouragement?!?! So adorable!
Thanks for sharing your update... enjoy your slow stitching today as you hear little cutie pie's voice as you sew :)
I can't blame her...it's so pretty / no wonder she's in a hurry :)
I am awed by this amazing amount of hexies. The fabrics are blending so well and it looks gorgeous. I'm with little Mae...get on with it Grandma! I can totally understand her anxiety to have this quilt wrapped around her little self.
Out of the mouths of babes. . .
You are making good progress!
This is a beautiful quilt. Your grand daughter will be so happy.
what is a Gramma to do? you must stitch away! Mae is quite patient for such a young one!
Handwork takes longer, but it's worth it. Not that the little ones understand that ... but they will ... someday. ha! I think your GFG is gorgeous!
Lovely work. At least you will know that this quilt will be loved for ever. I have an acquaintance who asked me recently how she would go about selling a quilt given to her for her wedding because she didn't like it much. My heart did a silent bleed for the unknown quilter.....
You got great inspiration. They do take a lot of stitching! Looks fabulous so far. I haven't worked on mine for two weeks.
This quilt is beautiful. A lovely traditional scrappy flower garden quilt. The green fabrics make each flower stand out. I commend you on your piecing skills.
My grandmother made one and my sister has it, she will treasure it forever!
I love your flower garden quilt! With such a cutie asking for it to be done - I'm sure she will be tickled pink when she can cuddle in it.
