I've got all of the pieced blocks done, plus one...not sure how I did that, but I'll put it on the back I suppose. Now I've got to prep and stitch 4 more applique blocks and put it together. This quilt has a real vintage feel to it and I'm excited to get it done and snuggle with it.
Tuesday was guild day and Fran (can't remember her last name) was there with a trunk show. I took tons of pictures but none really turned out very well. The camera kept focusing on other things. It was operator error I'm sure, but here is one picture that isn't too bad.
Fran's sense of color is just wonderful isn't it? And her applique is perfect. She did give a workshop the next day, but it was on something other than applique, so I didn't take it.
I'v also been busy taking my youngest daughter for Driver's Ed everyday. Can't believe my baby will be 16 in just over 2 months. Have I mentioned that I have a new helper in my sewing room? Well I do and here she is
Well I'm off to prep those blocks. Enjoy your Sunday!

doesn't look like kitty is earning her keep :) I like the muted colors that you chose for your quilt top.

Your bouquet quilt is going to be a very good piece. Interesting that it will have some appliqued blocks mixed in!
Love the blocks, they do look antique and thanks for showing the applique quilt as well. I reckon you could call the cat Sandy for short, It is a sandy colour.
Love your new blocks, Ranette. Are they the 'nose gay' blocks? I'm not good with block-names. lol
What a nice new friend you have! She's a sweetie.

Love the blocks, they do look antique... Are they the 'nose gay' blocks? I like Samara , but kitty is as good a name for a beautiful cat like her..
