Ignore the yellow pen on the alternate blocks, I have a bit of trapunto to do before these can be assembled. When that's done, I have the trapunto pattern for the border to draw up but that can wait.
As a rule, I don't count things like how many applique pieces etc that I do but I was curious as to the number of circles I stitched and 396 is the answer to that.
I'm off to the sewing cave to play with something more colourful, you'll have to wait and see.

Wow! This quilt and your work is truly amazing...lovely...wonderful!
I love this so much! It's such a beautiful pattern, and your applique work is perfect, as usual.
Wow wow wow! It is so pretty and crisp looking. Red and green is always a favorite. Looking forward to seeing how you finish this one.
Such a lovely block, and it goes well in this quilt. I love how this is turning out. What size will it be and what are you using for the backing? Are you hand or machine quilting?
Looking good
That is just SO striking and beautiful already.
It looks wonderful! But oh my is that ever a lot of pieces to sew down!
I am full of admiration for your patience in sewing so MANY tiny pieces. It looks stunning!
My favorite style :) Beautifully done!
Boy, that's some serious bird singing -- plus the bird symphony orchestra. That's a lot of circles and it's just gorgeous!!!
Stunning, just stunning! You inspired me to draw up the same pattern - I am on block 3 so a way to go yet, but such a gorgeous classic and crisp pattern.
I timed how long it took to sew the 44 currants on one of the blocks - 4.5 hours!
Thanks so much for sharing like you do.
Kind regards
Alison
I'm mesmerized by these blocks! They are all so perfect! It's going to be another masterpiece when finished! Beautiful!
So lovely to see you back in full swing and to see this glorious piece of work - it is just lovely Janet! Just yesterday it passed through my mind 'Blogland is not the same without a regular post from Janet' - your work inspires us all.

I'm curious about the quilt in your header - that looks pretty good too.

Gorgeous twirly Whirling Dervishes. Clever Gal, Janet.
Hope your cave isnt too muggy today...cant wait to see your next lot of colour.
Your quilt is going to be big show quality. I hope you are planning on entering it into a big show somewhere along the line.
Wahoo!! Your blocks are fabulous!! 396 stuffed berries - I'm impressed! I can't wait to see the trapunto blocks once they're stuffed. I love to see your progress on this remarkable project.

Beautiful! The blocks just dance!
It looks wonderful.
BTW it's 405 circles, you forgot the larger ones in the centre of the blocks (I must have a deficient gene which made me look, lols)
So lovely Janet...love seeing your inspiring work.
Julia ♥
that is a wonderful quilt! i agree that usually it's best not to count the applique work, too scary.:)
What can I say that hasn't already been said Janet. Your work is just so amazing. I would love to see this quilt up close and personal one day.
Clever you Janet ! Your work is simply amazing, such precision and beauty at the same time. I think I may know the colourful bits you are playing with at the moment ?

I love your quilt so far, Janet! It's going to be a fun one to quilt. Can't wait to see it!
Perfection!!! It is truly fabulous Janet!
This is one of those quilts that leave you speechless, however the following words describe it perfectly -- spectacular, stunning, amazing, gorgeous.
Wow! Truly peerless applique! This is so elegant and easy on the eyes...I love that it is just red and green. Trust me, I keep up with the count every time I applique more than 2 circles on a block...
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Your work is truly inspirational. I will love watching the rest of the story of this incredible quilt unfold.
Janet, This is my kind of quilt! I love the classic patterns and this one is going to be such a beauty. Your work is always so precise and gorgeous.
Your quilt brings me up to a hover...just exquisite!
That is fantastic Janet!!!Woo-Hoo!
Love this pattern...and you have great circles!
I love everything you create!!! This quilt is so BEAUTIFUL! Ditto to every single comments!
Absolutely spectacular Janet! I love that you left the "humilty block." I had to look for it.
I only count the circles AFTER they're sewn. ;)
The trapunto is going to add such a wonderful extra texture to the quilting designs. I'm anxious to see it..and what you get up to next!
This is an award winning quilt in the making. Absolutely beautiful.

LOVELY!!!
Ooohh I just love this! The trapunto looks great, as do the appliqué blocks. This is going to be another stunner!
Gorgeous Janet!
That's a lot of berries, I haven't calculated but....I have many to go before I rest.
This quilt is an heirloom, that's for sure.
I cant wait to read your blogs....Janet you absolutely inspire me with your needlework and cooking talents, and your generosity to share.Your inspiration commenced me on my first hand applique quilt... Kim's Lollypop Tree. Have completed 14 blocks, but am having a little break until my finger heals...nobody told me to shield my left hand index finger from all the pricks
Wow, are you doing a beautiful job!!! I would love to look at your trapunto. It's, next to applique, my favorite technique.
Stunning! I can't wait to see the trapunto!
That is such a beautiful quilt! I just love it. I look forward to seeing what you are doing next now that you are taking a break from the red and green.
What a great quilt :-)
Just breathtaking!!!!!!!!!! How I would love to see this up close!
Amazing - this quilt has the swoon effect, for sure! Really love everything about it.
Wow! way to go. It is beautiful.
This quilt is beautiful--and chance of getting a copy of the block pattern?
Okay...I CAN'T, for the life of me, find your profile button on the site! I would LOVE a pattern for your "Coxcomb" block. Can you email ME at butfromheretoo@sbcglobal.net ? Thank you...
You are absolutely amazing!
