Block 69 is called The Owl & the Pussycat. This block has a lot of embroidery which was fun to do. Only one block was designated for the quilt. This is a cute block but it has a lot of detail, one was enough!
Blocks 70, 71, 72 & 73 are named Butterfly. I liked this design, the blocks were easy to applique so I went ahead and made four of them like the pattern says.
Stonefields is designed by Susan Smith.
so beautiful and I admire your skill
ReplyDeleteI looked up the pattern and I really like yours better the blue makes it a stand out

ReplyDeletesuch a gorgeous collection of blocks for this quilt. I love the owl and pussy cat block!
ReplyDeleteYou must get a great deal of satisfaction viewing the blocks all together like that - so beautiful. You'll have to use a wide-angle lens to get it all!
ReplyDeleteThe owl and pussy cat block is precious! I can see why that cat tail could cause concern in an appliqué.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

ReplyDeleteGretchen I just went back on your blog to read more about your Baltimore Applique and embroidered blocks quilt. I was interested in reading about your applique in particular. You gave good tips regarding freezer paper. And what a beauty that quilt turned out to be! Always inspiring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as usual, Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteohhh Seeing them all together - Fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to finish all your blocks. I am with you on the small tail of the cat. I am attempting an applique of small diamonds and not doing well at all. What is the setting? I am excited to see how you will put them together. Happy New Year to you! And thanks for being the person who helps to focus on goals.
