Slow Sunday Stitching

Grandmother's Flower Garden continues to be one of my main sewing endeavors, as I make my way through the last of the flowers. I calculate that I need just 7 more flowers to complete my top, then I must stitch the remaining top together with the paths.

In order to avoid having a cluster of flowers too similar in the same spot, I am waiting to attach the last several I've made until all are done. Then I can sprinkle around the colors in random fashion. Honestly, I've tried not to be too fussy about placement up to this point. So I don't plan to be overly concerned about where these last flowers 'grow.' If my goal is to have the look of a frothy, English cottage garden, then I won't try to control things too, too much.

Here are a few more flowers yet to be sewn in.

And I will rerun the latest picture I've taken of the completed top of GFG so far. I've not added to it since before we left Florida - at least a month - but I've made lots more hexies for the paths and these remaining flowers.

Soon, I will need to have a decision about borders. I hope my tub of solid fabrics will have enough of a green to use. My possible plan is to applique this center to a green border. Then perhaps add more borders. 

All border considerations are conjecture at this point. Ideas are constantly swirling, and until I am actually DOING a border, only then will I know my definite plan. *smile*

Have you checked in lately with Kathy's Quilts? I've not participated in her Slow Sunday Stitching party for awhile, so I invite you to check out what other like-minded hand-stitchers are working on. 

I hope you have a pleasant Sunday and a productive week ahead. We've got a beautiful day here, but it's also a chilly one. 

Happy Quilting, Friends!
