First off, I must apologize for my photography. I probably should have spent more time trying to center the block. I also didn't take the time to press the block, I figure I will do that before trimming the blocks to their correct size so they can be assembled into a top.
The medallion block of my red and green quilt has been completed. It is a thirty-two inch block the rest of the blocks for this quilt will finish at sixteen inches.
This block is far from perfect, and one of the reasons I like to needleturn applique is that homemade look. I think I captured it, don't you?
Most of this block wasn't too complicated, although I did alter the ends of the carnation petals. I must also admit, I wasn't real careful with placement, close it good enough for me.
All in all, I will move forward and start a sixteen inch block. The first one I have chosen is called Coxcombs with basket and birds!
Oh, I am loving your blog! Such great projects you are working on! Looks like you love appliqué as much as I do! It is the one hobby I know I will never give up above all others. Thanks for sharing your lovely work!
