[quote=PurpleBecca]I started this quilt when I was 19!! Finished it when I was 35!!
Its completely hand pieced over paper and hand quilted!

Your quilt is simply lovely. I admire your tenacity doing another.
I like English paper-piecing, find it more relaxing than any other hand piecing.
I began a Grandmother's Flower Garden baby quilt for my first grandson using fabric from all his family, including greatgrands. It's not yet finished and he's graduating HS in June.

I have a smaller one I use on Baby quilts - that is less than an inch I think?

I know the size now

Very pretty. Love the colors. I agee about EPP being relaxing. Unbelieveable how many hexagons you can stitch when in a vehicle travelling or watching TV.
