More hexagon quilts

This one wasn't a patch (forgive the pun!) on the other one, but still delightful.....! Actually, it was very good I just couldn't resist the pun.
I am not normally a fan of hexagon quilts, but this one had something extra! I liked the way the colours are arranged, and think it must be a real picture on the bed!
It was done by Pauline Hartley from Slough, UK. It is called "Grannie Pollie's Garden".
Fabric used - Liberty Tana Lawn. Entirely hand stitched (Patchwork and quilting) with cotton thread.

The blurb says "I love flowers and my garden and growing things. This quilt has many flowers and has "grown" over a period of 10 years. Like the garden it has taken patience and given its rewards."

I like both these designs, I can't believe the top one is hand stitched, to someone like me, who hasn't any experience, that is just astounding! I would never get out of bed if this was my cover :) Thanks for sharing your photos.
