I wanted to change my header so I took some photos of some of my Baltimore Album style blocks.
See the birds eyes? they are cut out of a fabric I have that's actually not eyes.
I have about twenty blocks done and need to do five more, some inking and compose a border. Whew that's a lot of work! I might finish by the time my hair turns completely grey and I'm in a nursing home.I haven't worked on any of these blocks this last year. I cut my teeth on applique with them, maybe I should set myself the task of at least doing another block soon.
If you come back, you'll see the whole of these blocks next time.

Oh my goodness - this is what you worked on as you were learning to applique? They are lovely! I took the vine pattern out to enlarge the shapes today and hope to make some copies onto freezer paper tonight. I even think I have enough fabric for the panels - am I committing????
Janet you are the queen of applique. Those blocks are astonishing.
I only wish I could applique that neatly.
Janet,

Your work is incredible. I am sure enjoying the photos of your progress on the vine quilt, which seems to me to be going very quickly, though I am sure when you are in the middle of it, it may not seem so =-)...Great blog!

Janet, the blocks are beautiful! What method of applique do you use?
I love your work, amazing applique.
A baltimore is something I was always going to do, but never have and not sure that I will as I am already grey,vbg. Mind you have quiet a few years before needing the retirement home.
