I put together my blocks and sashing to make the two panels for January/February part
of the December section. Right away, I see problems and will need to take out
stitching and redo that section....I hate redos but it
won't look right unless I
correct that mistake....I must have measured wrong
when I trimmed my background pieces after the applique was
completed. The patchwork section on the bottom
is a little lower than the one on the first panel...And
see that place in the sashing strips where I have two squares
in the same place.
I think I can correct it without too much
hassle.
I stitched the cherry on top of one of the Chocolates...
I used a button for the Daisy center
and the cherry on top of the ice cream.
I loved the way the book looked when I
finished it.
I seldom drink hot Chocolate so
I've made this hot coffee instead.
I know there is a bottom panel to do before
I can actually say I'm up through February.
I will get that done in a few days although it
can't be added until more of the panels are finished.
I really enjoy doing these appliques
but I think I'm going to work on something else for
the next few weeks.
Happy Stitching

Reverse sewing is never fun - then again I would have to change those two little squares too - but it looks great and you are well in advance of Chookyblue's timetable. Great to change things to be what you want / like as well.
Looking great!!! Giving the quilt our own personal touches is what it is about don't you think? I would be like you Sammie, I would have to re-do the two squares and I love the red button. Cheers, SuziQ
