I just had to share with you all a pic of my Grandmothers Garden Quilt I have been working on *mumble mumble mumble* years (OK its four, but who's counting???)
I have about two rows sideways to go and I am busy squaring the whole sucker up.. it just fits on my kitchen floor. It looks heaps longer than wider, but I wanted a decent pillow tuck for it, as I tend not to do that, I get bored so I finish quilts off too short! LOL 
The sides I thought I'd do something a wee bit different, I used yellow for all the centres as there isn't many yellow hexagon flowers in the middle... and I used the half green ones as flowers.. now I haven't seen anyone else do anything like this, so I like that is a little different..
I will hand quilt it, so that'll probably take me another 4 years!

It's looking great! I do like the unique way you're doing the edges.
Wow Lissa, it looks great. So pretty. Wish I was brave enough to start something like it but I just know I will not finish it.LOL

Love the edges ! That would take me four lifetimes, not four years.
I love it! Well done. Jodie
It is lovely! But I think my mum has you beaten - she's been working on her version of that quilt for 25 years and counting ;-)
Love those green half hexagons.
I have been working on mine for 4 years and I am no where near where you are. Looks great!
Oh this is looking lovely! And the green half hexagons are the perfect edge treatment.
Oh..it´s going to be beautiful...don´t mistrust..you will finish it...someday...;D..Who counts the year...;D
Have a good day...
you know you can't rush these things....4 years is very reasonable for a hexagon quilt this size!! I think you have real patience to still be working on it...I would have made it into a table runner a long time ago! ;)
how big are THESE hex's??
do like the way you are spreading the "Insanity" through blog land too!! LOL
It's beautiful! This is a quilt worth waiting for. I like the way you are finishing the edges.
Absolutely gorgeous!
LJ it is looking stunning! I expect to see it finished in May...lol
Isn't it fantastic
Your quilt is lovely.
