Grandmother's vegetable garden
Last Sunday, I was trying to figure out how to foundation piece a grandmother’s flower garden circle. I’ve been trying for years to figure out a way to sew this classic quilt module on my machine. This week I finally did it.
I can cross that project off my to-do list. I’ve concluded that machine piecing is probably just as much work as hand piecing the hexagons using the traditional English paper piecing method.

Well, the vegies look tasty! I haven't done a stitch for weeks!
I love the veggies - such dimension and color. Congrats on figuring it all out - I've not got that kind of patience at the machine.
well, its a cute block, even if it took a long time! maybe you can keep it simple by making a small wall hanging instead! :)
Brava!
Were you challenging yourself only to machine piece the block or will it fit into a larger piece? ~ksp
Looks very yummy. Some of the hexs can be machine stitched...right
I did one by machine (not very well), just to see if I could. It didnt take long but I kept forgetting to stop short to get the angles. I like yours better.....
How clever you are! I must say, I too have decided that the only way to piece exagons is the traditional over papers sitting on a train or in an airport method. Just an easy way to use up spare time.
