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!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much! It's such a beautiful pattern, and your applique work is perfect, as usual.
ReplyDeleteWow 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.
ReplyDeleteSuch 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?
ReplyDeleteLooking good
ReplyDeleteThat is just SO striking and beautiful already.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! But oh my is that ever a lot of pieces to sew down!
ReplyDeleteI am full of admiration for your patience in sewing so MANY tiny pieces. It looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite style :) Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteBoy, that's some serious bird singing -- plus the bird symphony orchestra. That's a lot of circles and it's just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning, 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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

ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of berries, I haven't calculated but....I have many to go before I rest.

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
ReplyDeleteWow, are you doing a beautiful job!!! I would love to look at your trapunto. It's, next to applique, my favorite technique.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I can't wait to see the trapunto!
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt :-)
