MONTH 2 — Share Your Progress HERE

[Carol G.]

Oh, I love these blocks!

[Sharon P.]

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.

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

[Lynn W.]

Your block is wonderful! --Lynn

[Lynn W.]

I LOVE your blocks, Gloria! Your design really showcases the plaid. --Lynn

Thanks Helen, I was thinking the same thing after watching the show!

[Helen W.]

Thanks Helen, those are good ideas. The one cent euro is too big also. Anyway this time I’m doing them with the glue like we did in Afternoon Delight. They’re not perfect but it will do. The other pieces I did with the starch and freezer paper technique.

Lynnanne, While watching the latest Quilt Show with Kate Colleran I saw the trailer for Kyra Reps for the next show. She wins
blue ribbons for making dot mandela quilts. She has a you tube channel where she has videos on Rosa's Appliquick technique.
On her website she sell the pre-made template circles that fuse on back of fabric. I know you might not be able to
buy that in Italy, but maybe some of the other ladies would like this easy way to do it. The you tube videos are worth watching.
