Applique at Retreat

I appliqued three Stonefield blocks during the evenings at retreat. First are two blocks called Rosehip Tea. 

The pattern had several different views, you could select which views you to use for the blocks. For the first block I choose a single flower.

For the second block I decided on two flowers in the block. I honestly don't think these flowers look like roses but wouldn't blue roses be beautiful in real life?

The third block is named The Open Wreath which makes absolute sense! All of the circles were appliqued during show & tell except two of them, those I did first thing Saturday morning. 

The flower at the bottom doesn't look placed correctly, I wonder if it was appliqued upside down? Oh well, I'm not changing it. 

And a picture of all three blocks.

I have one more block to applique then all the 6" finished blocks for the center of the Stonefields quilt have been completed! 

These blocks will be safely stored for the summer. In the fall I will arrange them on the display floor for at least a week to critique then rearrange. After that the blocks will be sewn together for the center of the quilt. Next step will be foundation paper-piecing the flying geese border.
