A new applique project has been started called Rosemary's Little Baltimore Album Blocks. These blocks were designed by Rosemary Youngs. Rosemary authored several books but has retired from designing.
She gave me the applique patterns several years ago. I tried googling the pattern name but nothing pulled up.
Here is the start of my first block, all the blocks are 6".
The dots in the background fabric look black but they're navy blue. All the applique pieces are solid 'bright' Kona fabrics. I wanted something different for this quilt. I have an idea about the sashings between the blocks but first the blocks have to be appliqued.
I had originally planned on starting these blocks before the Stonefields quilt but Rebecca wanted me to stitch Stonefields along with her and Chris. Now it's these blocks turn.
Rosemary's Baltimore Album quilt is not a full time project, it is for 'take along'. My evenings are normally spent hand quilting Elegant Garden. Prepping the Tree of Life quilt is taking time also, I want to start the hand applique on that quilt January 1, 2027.
I did finish the quilting the borders of Elegant Garden last week, this week I'll start quilting the blocks.
Blogger is still annoying me, they did the blog list problem. Now the problem is linking up to the parties, they don't show all the pictures! When I linked up to a party last week, it only pulled up the picture of the Carolina Lily pattern!! 😖 Hopefully things will go better with this post since there is only one picture to show.

The polka dot background is a fun choice. Hope you enjoy your new project. Blogger does weird things, for some linky parties, I've had to upload the photo from the computer, Blogger tells me my photos are "protected" and can't be shared. What?
ReplyDeleteThat has happened to me too! It's so frustrating.
DeleteI am having the same issue with blogger! Annoying! Nice to have a take along hand sewing project on the go. I always bring some hand sewing with me when we travel.
ReplyDeleteThe new appliqué project looks great, cute little flowers. Sorry about the link parties, it looks like things are often a bit complicated right now with Blogger. Thank you for sharing and linking up!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that I am not the only one suffering from the Blogger Blues. I had the same problem but thought it might be my internet. Thank you for letting us know . Your block is so pretty and I love the little polka dot background fabric. Have a lovely day, Gretchen.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry that you are having troubles with Blogger. I am thankful that it has been fine for me so far. I like that applique block. You have so many pretty projects in the works that I enjoy following.
ReplyDeleteRosemary's Little Baltimore Album Blocks are going to be cute - can't wait to see where this goes! Best of luck with Blogger - I do not care for it but I think I'm too lazy to change.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good take along project. I like your colour choices :)
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty project, Gretchen. I love the bright colors and the background dots are such fun, great choice.
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting project to follow along with. Enjoy. x
