This week I decided to get organized and really figure out the numbers behind my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt. Until now, I have been aimlessly basting and stitching, but now it is time to finalize my plan!
First I counted all my unstitched hexies and determined that I have 48 flowers left to stitch. Check out all the hexie stacks :) 336 hexagons all stacked so nicely!
I have 26 flowers completed waiting for 3 additional border hexies to be stitched and 21 flowers that already have the 3 additional border hexies stitched. I have stitched four flowers to the main part of the quilt. The only outstanding effort, is how many border hexagons....guess I have to work on calculating that one!

This week's effort is included in the numbers above. I was able to finish 3 flowers and basted 27 border hexies.
I also experimented with thimbles (and thanks to everyone who provided me options). So far I have determined that I have gotten used to two of them - The Clover Protect & Grip and the Clover Natural thimble. These two are located in the lower left of the picture.
I can't say I am in love with either....but I am trying really hard!!
