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!
| Total | Progress | Left To Complete | |
| Flowers to Stitch | 99 | 51 | 48 |
| Border Hexagons | ? | 112 | ? |
| Borders to Add | 99 | 25 | 74 |
| Stitch to Quilt | 99 | 4 | 95 |
This week’s effort is included in the numbers above. I was able to finish 3 flowers and basted 27 border hexies.

That leather one is the front center is mine. I love love love it. I also have the pink one to the right and the next one going counter clockwise- the little green and tan thing. I can't use either of those to save my life.

I'm a number cruncher at heart, so your chart makes me happy … almost as happy as when I see those darling piles of hexies! Love them!

Thank you! I love Bonnie & Camille's fabrics. This line is Marmalade. Next time though, I think I am going to make something with all my scraps 🙂 But I do adore each line they release!

Thanks Lisa. The leather one in the center is the one I have been using the most. I bought the medium first and it kept spinning on my finger. I purchased a small and that one is better, but it is starting to stretch out now. I took everyone's advice and have been wearing it around the house 🙂 I know I look silly, but I need to get used to it. I can't use either of those silly ones 🙂 either. It is probably good there are so many to choose from. I asked my Mom to look for some of my Grandmother's so I can try them. I hope she finds them!!

Adrienne – your post made me smile 🙂 I am so analytical that I like to lay everything out and nice and neatly! And I love Excel for that 🙂 I love seeing the piles of hexies too, but hope I have fewer to count next week!

Thanks Pamela. I like dealing with numbers, but when I got started, I just wanted to see progress 🙂 and actually did not even know what I was going to make since it was my first EPP project. Ha! I just kept stitching and I am pretty sure I will be able to make a quilt for the bed….I am hoping for queen size.

Helen – I was just telling my husband….maybe I should try some of the cheaper ones 🙂 I am sure I will get used to one at some point and when I find 'the one' I am going to by a few 🙂
