I made another block over the weekend. We were having problems with our hot water heater which was old and needed to be replaced. While the plumbers were here, I snuck into my sewing room and kept out of the way! Kossuth County is the 9th block of the State Fair Sampler quilt. It measures 16.5" square. This block reminds me of tiles. It came out good but lots of points to match up! Happy this one is done.
This is the last block of Carrie Hall's Sampler Quilt. It measures 20" square. I started by getting the bias strips appliqued. I'm still working on the large flower and have leaves as well as 2 buds that are ready for applique. I'm taking my time with this last block. I can't believe this quilt top is almost finished!
State fair blocks do look like tiles;)) so pretty, Rosemary;)))
ReplyDeleteCarrie Hall: those stems are so skinny!! Yikes!! Such a pretty darkish red color on the flower, too...nice work hugs, Julierose
Thank you! I'm using my fabric stash as much as possible. So nice to be able to use up that fabric.
DeleteThe Kossuth County block sort of reminds me of the primrose blocks in one of Lori Holt's quilts. It is pretty in those colors. I can't wait to see the applique' quilt blocks come together. How exciting to be this close to a finish.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna! It's always nice to finish up a big project. I love Lori Holt's patterns. I just bought a few cards of her cross stitch. I didn't even know she had cross stitch projects.
Delete20 inch is a large square, Rosemary. Love these colours of yours and your applique is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jocelyn! That flower that' I'm appliqueing is quite large. It's taking a while to finish it. So glad you like my fabrics mostly found in my stash!
