Beyond the Cherry Trees Block 12, 14 & 17

I had been putting off doing block 12 because of the little fingers not much of a seam to turn under and I am still not convinced the seams will hold.

I enjoyed stitching Block 14 it was a little easier to do.

















Block 17 was very quick to stitch....... Sometime you need something easy to relax again.

 I believe the ladies that designed this quilt all those many years ago must have been very accomplished at  appliqué.

Accuquilt Triangles in a Square and Half Square Triangles

My third quilt in the die challenge is made from the Accuquilt Triangle in a Square and Half Square Triangles dies.

First I cut all the pieces for the triangle in a square block.  I ran into some difficulty with this block not coming out to the right size but quickly found out I was not sewing it together correctly. The little nubbed corners are not stitching guide lines.   Once that was corrected everything went smoothly.

Here are all the little pieces that go into making up each block.  Each one should be 3 1/2 inches square.

These are the two blocks in the quilt.  Either block would make a lovely quilt. 

But when combined they make a spectacular one.

I wanted to make this quilt a little larger but part of the challenge is to use only fabrics from my stash so I was limited in the size. 

Happy stitching, Nancy

LollyPop Trees Center

I finally finished the center of my Lollypop Trees quilt.  The picture is not very good but this quilt is hugh and I just don''t have a space large enough to photograph it.

I am only about half way finished because there is a lot of applique' in the borders but the more I do on this quilt the more I like it.
Happy quilting,
Nancy
