Yea!! I was able to get most of the leaves sewn down on my
Miss Kyra quilt by Erin Russek but I still have a few left. I am trying to think about the borders now as I am determined to make them shine!! I just wonder what I can do with the fabric I have left!
I was also able to finish up
P3 Design BOM #3, which was quite a challenge in itself. I am going to start block #4 shortly and it is just as challenging but I am really enjoying it.
Please remember to check out the rest of the design walls on
Judy's blog!
Your quilt looks Amazing!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh that is sooooo pretty. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI really like this take on the dresdan plate. I wish I had found it earlier as I'm making one but in the traditional block design. The applique flowers add so much freshness (as opposed to drab) and life to the quilt. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love dresdens and the applique just makes them shine. AND, your flower block is beautiful. thanks to you I have downloaded them and they will probably be the next BOM I start.
ReplyDeleteAll lovely! I have Erin's pattern, but haven't started yet. Your colors are an inspiration! I'm planning on using Kate Spain's Good Fortune for another project & expect to have left over fabric to start my color palette for this project.
ReplyDeleteBtw, that flower (reverse applique?) is stunning. Thanks for linking up with Judi which enabled me to find you.
Miss Kyra looks beautiful! I bought that pattern as it was for such a wonderful cause but haven't made it yet. Great fabrics! Love your beautiful applique block too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful top! You could use half fans/plate blocks in the border and do a snake border ( I hate the word snake, but you know what I mean - slithering in S's). I love your use of graduated colors in the leaves.
ReplyDeleteYES! I have extra plates (fans and half plates) made up already. Great minds think alike!!
DeleteSo beautiful, Jennifer. Like Becky, I really like your use of graduated colors in the leaves. It is so awesome how you took two blocks and made such a unique quilt out of them. Love the hibiscus block also.
ReplyDeletevery pretty and I love the flower block too, It does look really hard to do!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! You do such fine work. Congrats on all the beauty you've got going there :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer, you're a marvel! I went to a 3-day quilting retreat in McCloud last weekend and didn't have internet so I failed to have anything for DWM. I couldn't have competed with your post anyway!
ReplyDeleteA quilt retreat! So much fun. I would love to do another one. My first/last one was a bit of a bust!! I just found out, via facebook that the designer for P3 Designs, Pearl Pereiera, is teaching a retreat in Lake Tahoe this week. Would have killed to attend that!! I am probably going to take a break soon as I need to work on the borders for my Baltimore Album and no one wants to see unending leaves for weeks at a time!!
