Grandmother's Flower Garden

In 1976, my friend Leah's mother Greta taught me how to hand piece this quilt.  This is my first quilt.  With a cardboard hexagon pattern,  I used fabric scraps from my clothes sewing projects.  It took about a year to complete.   I took the quilt to a lady in downtown Spokane to hand quilt and bind.  She had a large quilt frame set up in her living room and charged me very little to complete the quilt.  I did not go back to quilting until the year 2000 when I took a 6 week class in quilting with a sewing machine and a rotary cutter.  Much different experience.
