I haven’t finished putting the flowers together yet – still have four more to add but I did decide on the border/background. I had a lot of good suggestions about possible fabrics and they all sounded good. Sarah suggested that I use a Kaffe print. I couldn’t find one I liked but sitting right next to the Kaffe was Amy Butler and I tried one of them. I like it.
I know it is not a traditional fabric to use with a GFG but I don’t want traditional. I think I have said that I don’t really like this hexie quilt but I am determined to finish it. Now I need to get the rest of the flowers sewn on so I can applique the whole thing to the Amy Butler fabric.
Next to come up with a name for the quilt.
Grandma meets Amy
Not Amy’s Grandmother
???
Suggestions welcome.

I have a hexie I started 1.5 yrs ago. Last month I put together 6 more flowers. I hate it. Sometimes I think if I walked in the room took it outside and placed it in the burn barrel, before I thought about it, I would be free from it. I want to see how GFG looks when machine quilted. I KNOW I will never hand quilt it.
