In these instructions I am going to
describe how to use the hexagon precut paper shapes to make
a flower for the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt.

Figure 1
|
|
Take 2 basted hexagons and lay the
right sides together. Whip stitch along one edge of the hexagons
as shown in Figure 1. After unfolding, the back of the hexagons
should look like Figure 2.

Figure 2

Once you have sewn hexagons to all
the edges on one hexagon, you can pop the paper piece out
and reuse it (If you have basted to the paper piece, you must
clip your basting thread before popping out the paper piece).
Figure 3 shows the back of a single row flower. The center
paper piece has already been removed.

After making many flowers you can
attach them together with a solid background of hexagons to
create the Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern as shown in
Figure 4. You do not have to make a Grandmothers Flower Garden
quilt, for the pattern is very versatile. Arrange the hexagons
any way you like.
