I'm making good progress with these blocks. Block 12 is completed and I really like it.
I thought it might be too dark but it isn't.
I trim the fabric behind each layer of applique so it isn't so bulky.
There are 4 layers of fabric on the dark blue/circle flowers.
I'm considering hand quilting this quilt but won't make that decision for certain until these blocks are sewn into a flimsy. That decision depends on what I think of the outer border blocks.
I'm surprised by the variety of fabrics in the civil war fabric tub.

This might be my favorite block thus far. I love the wreath and all those beautiful circles. I bet it is a lot of fun to fluff for fabrics in the Civil War tub.
You certainly do have some pretty civil war fabrics in that tub if yours. Another lovely block finished.
Beautiful block! How many more blocks do you have left to stitch?
There are 12 more applique blocks to stitch. Then I need to piece a center block. The outside border is also pieced.
So many blocks and quilts can be made with a bin of scraps! Beautiful block! Gail at the cozy quilter
Such a pretty block!
Just lovely applique Gretchen;))) I especially like those little circles' flowers--with the scalloped edges--so pretty. Nice work...

Your applique is so beautiful! Trimming behind the fabric must be a little scary. . .if it were me, I'd clip the outside fabric!!!
That's such a pretty block.
Looking lovely. xx
