You guessed right, I was going to wait until the new year but I had no self control. This is just a small start on the Stars and Sprigs quilt. I had a plain off white fabric already in the cupboard for the applique but not enough for the whole quilt.
The local quilt shop had this fabric with a pale lavendar spot on a neutral background so I thought that might be nice for the stars.
Now where was I? Oh yes, puppy dogs, stitcheries and a vine to applique, back to it.

Hee hee! I LOVE everything about your blocks -- the beautiful fabrics, your gorgeous stitching and the fact that you couldn't wait!! :-)
This looks so good and makes me want to start on a new project - but I'm not going to... 2010 is the year of finishing for me... and I really mean it, I do... really...
I'm with you! Why wait? Start now while the adrenaline is flowing! It's going to be just lovely!
Once I have the pattern and fabric it's almost impossible not to go ahead and start. I think I'll make one block and see how it looks, etc. etc. Yes, I think you're right - it's QADD!!
WooHoo! It's going to be awesome! I know what you mean about waiting. I'm chomping at the bit to start a new quilt!!

Stars and Sprigs. This is going to be fun! I really like the fabric combo on the Star by the way. It got me thinkin'... which really I shouldn't do too much!
After 14 years of quilting I'm just learning to hand appliqué. Your work is so lovely and so inspiring. Gorgeous blocks.
