Floral Vase Arrangement Block Finished!

Block 11, Floral Vase Arrangement of the Pastor's Album Quilt is finished. She took longer than some of the other blocks but was worth it.

 Now I need to prep the next block, Vase of Mixed Flowers. 

The Pastor's Attic Quilt is a Baltimore Album quilt by Marsha D. Radtke.

 I've completed 17 of the 25 center blocks so far.

      Yes, it is so much fun to watch them pile up. All other handwork projects are now on hold until I get these blocks finished. I am getting more and more excited to see them all laid out together.

    The vase is wonderful. To this day, I regret that I did fusible applique instead of needleturn on making the quilt top from this book. And it stays a top to this day.

      Quilting makes a big difference to a top. I be it would still be a pretty quilt if you would get it quilted. Fusible applique would be a LOT faster. Whichever applique technique people use is a personal preference.

    Your block is beautiful. It looks like there are lots of little details that require an experienced appliquer.

      I wouldn't call myself an expert but I sure am better than I was a year ago.
