For the past few days, during my breaks and lunch, I would sit down and relax, while doing some of my hand appliqué blocks. This first one is the one I chose to do for December. The basket, leaves and rose buds were already completed previously. What was left to do were the five berries and the three flowers. So far, I did the berries and one flower.
I find the flowers a bit tedious, with all the ins and outs of the petals. So I gave it a bit of a break and picked up this next block to work on. I wanted to keep the momentum going and figured that working on any block will get me further ahead. This block had the round ring of the wreath, already completed and the rose buds are already folded and pressed. Yesturday, I basted all the leaves and started appliquéing them to the block. Five done and seven more to go. The cut out pieces are on the paper at the top of the picture and the actual block is at the bottom of the picture.
We'll see how this one goes....if I finish it first, I'll count it for the December's block instead. Either way I am making progress on this quilt, so that's great!!
Take care everyone. Enjoy your weekend!
