Friday Already?

Wow this week flew past me!

I do have a little quilting/sewing to show for it,

but not much!

Last year I showed these wool applique blocks I made..

 I made six more and set them aside, knowing I wanted to make a quilt with them.

Now is the time!

This week I have been making blocks,

using these appliqued blocks as the center.

In the quilt group I belong to, we were given this pattern

and were asked to put a quote, saying or whatever 

we wanted in the center as a friendship block.

We were going to trade them with the other group members.

(We actually gave them all to our leader as a surprise!)

I made mine with a wool applique block like these

and knew right away that I wanted an entire quilt made like this.

 

Let me just say that my seam ripper has become an extension of my hand!

I don't know if I have ever had to rip out as many seams as I have with these blocks.

These blocks are 16 1/2" square, so this is going to be a large quilt

with the 12 wool blocks I have appliqued!

It's funny how you can look at a block for two days and not see the mistake...

then all of a sudden it hits you!

The top red HST was backwards on this block until I fixed it.

I have two more blocks worth of HST's almost ready...

just need to trim the dog ears.

This is the pattern I used for the wool applique.

I really, really like Lisa's patterns.

Happy Friday

and

Peaceful Quilting to all!
