The final border for Nancy Page's Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt was a simple 10-inch white border, making it large enough for a king-sized bed with a nice "fall". After attaching the side strips, the upper and lower borders completed the quilt top. The quilting will have to wait until the second story on the garage is finished.

The second border for the Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt consisted of a 2-1/4" wide pieced strip made of alternating buff and white triangles, following a challenging but visually appealing approach. Gathering pre-cut blocks and dealing with crooked seams posed some challenges, but the border was successfully completed, bringing the quilt closer to completion.

The Nancy Page quilt club, featured in the newspaper, completed the Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt series. The club formed of 18 members meticulously pieced and quilted the blocks, each member assigning a unique floral block. The club also prepared quilts for an upcoming bazaar, demonstrating their diverse talents and dedication to the craft.

The latest update involves ordering and preparing fabric for quilt borders, amidst a busy life. The "Border Design" finished the Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt series, adhering to specific measurements. The first border, made of white Peter Pan gingham, was 7-3/4" wide on all four sides. The process now moves on to the second border.

The quilt top piecing was delayed due to missing embroidery on the Balloon Flower. Researching balloon flower images, the creator translated 3D to 2D and stitched the flower. Placing the flowers in rows and columns with no similar colors together, the creator seeks reader input on block placement. Suggestions are welcome.

The writer describes completing pieced basket blocks for a quilt project, organizing the components, and encountering challenges like misplacing pieces. They also list the flowers being added to the baskets and express satisfaction with the results. Additionally, they ask for readers' opinions on the flowers. Overall, the process involves crafting and arranging quilt blocks, with a focus on organizing and adding floral elements.

The completion of the Zinnia flower marks the final addition to the quilt. The intricate process of sewing each layer and addressing challenges, like the scalloped edges, is detailed. The flower is constructed layer by layer before being attached to the block. A minor setback with stem placement is resolved. This signifies the completion of Progress #12.

In Progress #11, the tulip block is taking shape with leaves and stems already appliqued. Using a light-box makes it easier to place each tulip, but more trips are needed for each layer. The tulip flowers are layered in different colors as recommended by Nancy. Only the zinnia block remains to complete the flower blocks for the quilt.
