MONTH 2 — Share Your Progress HERE

[Lorry0]

love your blocks Gloria!

[Rose O.]

Here's my progress so far. First tried a block each of needle turn applique, then a block of wool raw edge applique. Liked the wool better, but in showing the blocks to people realized that I could vary the fabrics in the needleturn one also, so I'll add in a few of those too. Enjoying seeing how creative everyone is.

[Rose O.]

Wow! I love those!

Hand appliqué needle turn. Don’t mind the pencil marks. I cut the squares larger, I thought I centered the pattern, but with the “leaves” they were not perfect from pattern each blocks was a bit different. I started with the center circle and did a small circle on top. Then I started with the center circle, but found that leaves were extending past the marked area. So I ended up doing the leaves first, the centering the circle and then finally the small circles. Then I centered the block prior to cutting at 5.5”.
I am going with a southwest theme. I am looking at the next appliqué blocks and will plan on doing a different Southwest theme, landscape ideas on the landscape blocks (ones more horizontal) and Southwest items for the portrait blocks ( vertical). I guess I am currently thinking a one way quilt but that could change when we put all the blocks together.

Spectacular! Do you ever sleep? I love the changes you made. The echo of the design in the center is genius. And I love the duplication of the outside stars. It is so balanced. I am using the kit fabric with some additional colors. Would you mind if I copied your lay-out?

[Lynn W.]

Oh, this is fabulous! I love how you used the plaid.

[Barbara B.]

Well done!

[Carol G.]

Oh, I love these blocks!

Finished my month 2. I chose to do reverse appliqué on the hearts and the leaf things around the circle. Just ignore the flying geese.lol.another project.

[Gloria V]

I'm attempting to make the quilt in both color ways. The Spring one will be for my granddaughter and the other will be for me. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with each month's installment but I'm going to try. I already posted the second month for the Granddaughter quilt and once again I changed the appliqué to showcase the plaid for the Grandmother's quilt. The appliqué pieces are all made, I just have to machine appliqué them. One set completed and three more to go.

This is outstanding. Congratulations!

[JANET E.]

I decided to do the applique. I use Alex's method for finished edge. Machine sewn on expect for the small circles which I did by hand. I decided not to add the hearts and have a flower in the center of each large circle.

[Marjorie C.]

Completed Month 2. I used machine applique. I need the practice as I am not as experienced with this method.

[KayeT]

Almost halfway done with month 2. Those little circles are kinda slow to make.

[Lynn W.]

You can always make the circles larger which will be easier for you to make. --Lynn
