I'm taking the plunge and starting a Grandmother's Flower Garden, using directions I found here. Going pretty simple to start, and see if I like doing it. DH used his CAD software to draw up hexagons for me in different sizes, and I've picked the 1.25" side-length to start with. Maybe I'll have something of it to show next week.
Have the third LeMoyne start ALMOST done - should get to show it next week. Someone asked how big they are - the blocks are 12" finished. I saw a picture of a very old one in a book about quilts in Colorado history, with 3" blocks, and tons of them and was VERY impressed!
Lots of other Design Walls are posted on Judy's page.

Beautiful colors! I can see why you are excited.
Well at least you posted for this week--I didn't have anything to show so skipped out. Very pretty colors, I love purple and green together, so classic.
The thing to remember when doing english paper piecing is that its a process. So not only do you get a great quilt at the end - but you learn a lot of patience LOL! I'm on my second now and its a blessing and a curse. I love love love doing it - but gosh it takes foreverrrrrrrrrr!
I love the color pallet you picked!
