For fans of Pati Shambaugh's wonderful Quilt Patis! Finally, someone made the lovely Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern easy to create. Discuss techniques, show pictures of your creations, and feel free to share upcoming events where Pati will be teaching. Also share sources for purchasing Quilt Patis! The group owner sells them at Mama.Sylvia's Fat Quarter Page, but you are welcome to buy them wherever you choose and add other sources in the "links" section.

If you're tempted to save money by making your own hexagons, be my guest -- the tiny variations between hand-cut templates add up to aggravating differences between finished hexagons that you're trying to stitch together and you'll soon be ready to order Pati's originals! I tried making my own (while I was waiting for my first order) from paper and from plastic, and tried another commercial product as well. The tiny differences in size drove me crazy! Pati's die-cut patis are truly easy to use and well worth the money.
