MONTH 2 — Share Your Progress HERE

[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.

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.

yes I found it difficult to line up all those leaves accurately too. though once the small circles went on it disguised it all a bit, very pretty block

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.

12 Blocks done. I used the Terial Magic, really not sure I was happy with it as it made the fabric very stiff and difficult to stitch through but its done now and its a pretty block, oh those circles.....
