READY TO QUILT

OK, this will be my last post of this quilt, but I would love some feedback before I finish. What ideas do you have about quilting this spring quilt? Also do you like the border of black with dots?

I have enjoyed this process and learning so much from you all. I am anxious to begin my next appliqued/pieced quilt. Thank you for sharing you creations with me, and inspiring me to expand what I know.

with gratitude,

Pete

block 5

I was truly shocked to find i didn't post since early january. But here it is, my block #5.
For the leaves i used what is mostly used as a background. But since my background is this nice red, i figured i would use my 'background' fabrics in a different way. So far, i do like where this is taking me, but still very anxious to see the outcome because i still don't know where i am heading.
I also like my sometimes quirky circles, doing them the needleturn way. I feel it fits the playfullness of the quilt to be.
Have fun.

May I ask a question?

What is your favorite applique method? Needleturn, starch, glue stick, etc by hand? Or is it turned edge, raw edge, etc by machine? I'm still saving my pennies to buy my background. I hope people are still doing Kim's projects and this blog is still active when I finally get to start.

Moving right along

Progress has slowed a lottle, but my ambition remains alive. This shows my progress, not all are appliqued yet, but I need to take pictures like this to see the overall look easier. I can also study the layout and change what is not sewn down yet. Much learning has taken place, and I am inspired to keep going and try new ways as I follow all the projects. Stars and sprigs is on the horizon but I am to finish this for Christmas.

I would love any and all feedback, as I am still a beginner.

Have mercy...

Hi everyone,

after weeks of drooling over your exceptional work I finally have a block of my own to contribute! I am doing the Lollpop Trees BOM through the wonderful Material Obsession and have just completed Block 1 from August, my first ever needleturn applique block (hence the post title). I have wanted to do this quilt ever since I first saw it at Glorious Color and I wasn't going to let a little thing like skill level get in my way when I saw that Material Obsession was repeating their Lollypop BOM, lol. So here she is in all her asymmetrical glory!


Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to post on this blog - the inspiration, tips and eye candy found here make it the first update I look for on my bloglines!
