The applique center for blue Stars Around the Garden is finished! There are 60 leaves on this applique and they took awhile. After I took the picture, I trimmed the center to the correct size. Now I can start on the sashing.
I didn't even touch the vintage Boston Commons quilt this week so I don't have a hand quilting update but I did finish knitting another dishcloth.

love the blues and yellows in that quilt.
I love your appliquéd center! It's so pretty and nicely done. That is a great dishcloth - it's a gorgeous color of blue, one of my favorites. Does that knit stitch have a name? ~Jeanne
I love your appliqued center and all 60 leaves look amazing!!! I hope you enjoyed making that pretty blue dishcloth too... It is nice to take some time off a big project I think... I am pondering going back to my frame this week and working on Appalachian Delight :D Have a happy week ahead Gretchen!

Your applique work is so lovely. Maybe one of these years I'll approach that skill level even halfway.
Gretchen, this block is stunning! Such pretty crispness with the blues and the yellow on the white. . . drooling may be happening here. ;D
Your blue flowers piece is gorgeous! Pretty, pretty fabrics and the stitching so well done.
I knit a scarf with that same stitch for grandson a few years ago and it was in blue too. Lovely. Oh I'm drooling over that applique center...a lot of hand work so worth the amazing result.
Lovely applique and your and beautiful stitches and color for the knitting dishcloth, Well done.
