February is underway...background
fabrics collected while jaunting around the place Summer Schooling washed and
ironed (yes I'm a pre-washer)...sorted and resorted, until...six cream fabrics
in the box...
A session
preparing templates, except the centre panel, then moving on to applique pieces
fabric selection...
from
the scrap bin! looking for civil war/1800's reproduction fabrics/colours...the
reproduction stash box made it quite clear of involvement in the project when
it comes to the border squares and triangles...I just love playing in the scrap
bin, there are all sorts of "donated" treasures in there...floss
colours to be determined by the applique block winning fabric...definitely
going with scrappy!
Progress
so far...one finished, one almost there, and preparation underway...yes,
I've changed the construction and embroidery stitch, you get that...
Happy Stitching...

Hellooo!!!
oh its going to look great. You hearts look a little 'healthier' than mine. Mine seem to be narrower or something.
Great progress Annette - so what did you do instead of the blanket stitch??
looking great Jindi......keep up the progress.........
Lovely
Loving all the progress and is great to see how we all work out how we plan to tackle this lovely quilt
Your hearts are great...I don't know how you can do the applique first, though. I like the dark blue hearts best.
