Quilters Alphabet G: Grandma’s Glorious Garden
Grandma’s Flower Garden is the quintescient quilt pattern. So beautiful with all those neat little hexagons and so difficult with all those neat little hexagons! But how could I not include Grandma’s Glorious Garden as our G
block? This is surely a historic block and will undoubted enjoy continued popularity.
These alphabet blocks have been offered as fused blocks and the Grandma’s Garden block is most often done by hand, usually done with English Paper piecing. So I am presenting both the pattern for a single Hexagon pattern (right in the center!) as well as the fused pattern (Note the three values… Each will be a separate piece/color- the center, the flower color, the green.) Just FYI… The fused method is much easier.
Here is a great tutorial on English Paper Piecing (EPP):
