Appliquéing frenzy!

Finished block 1

Stems and leaves sewn down on block 2 except for one little leaf.  Had it down but the final point started feying and it just wasn't good enough.  Off it came and another one was made to takes it's place.  I'm working on the flowers next. 

Have most of the pieces, for block 3, are ready so I can jump right into it when the flowers are down on block 2.

I want to thank those of you who commented on the previous posts.  Many of you have made the Florabunda quilt and have shared some important insight.

Sew happy this week and check out what's happening over at Judy's this Monday.

"Spring has Sprung....The Grass has Rizz....I wonder where the Flowers is?..."

Ouch, such poor English!  My highschool English teacher is probably rolling over in her grave.  However silly it may be, my Mom loved to say things like this to make us smile.  So it's only appropiate to use her little ditty to show off  my completed center block, Miss Hannah. 

It's full of Spring flowers and does put a smile on my face.

Now onto Block 1 of Erin Russek’s Florabunda quilt pattern.  The leaves and stems are sewn down as well as the first flower, three more to go. There are three yellow balls to place over each flower.  So cute!

When Block 1 is complete the pieces for Block 2 are nearly finished. With only the blue center circles left, the running stitch is in place and ready to pull tight around the circle template.

Check in and see what others are doing on Judy’s PatchworkTimes with their Design Wall Monday.

Make it a Sew Special Week!
