What a week! Keeping to my promise to finish up my Baltimore Album quilt I successfully finished the last two of the 25 blocks!! The star block was the biggest challenge and took weeks of fear before I was ready to tackle it. The green section is done with a combo of applique and reverse applique and cutting into the background fabric but I chickened out on the red and did it the way I felt more comfortable, just so I could get it done already!! I also made my four ruched flowers for Block #25.
Below is the progress I have made on the border applique, many many leaves, flowers and everything else. I am about to start my second round, of 4 total so I should be ready to start the borders by the time I get the top sewn together.
Just for the fun of it I also included my Farmer's Market shopping trip this last Saturday. I was so thrilled to have purchased all these yummy organic foods for only $41. Tons of cherries, bing and renier, Yukon potatoes, basil, carrots, strawberries and a huge flat of jumbo eggs!!
Next week I am hoping the corn and stone fruit look good, it is almost PEACH time here!! Yummmm.

ReplyDeleteHum, I'm wondering what looks better the veggies/fruits or the blocks. I'm going for the wonderful blocks. Good job getting 25 applique blocks done. Hum, I should put one of my applique quilts UFO's on my goal list except, not quite yet!
