I finished up block #17 of Baltimore Garden yesterday. I must say those layered flowers do take some time. But the old saying about applique is so true, it is all about one stitch at a time. I love the depth that the layers add and am so glad that I attempted to make the layered flowers this time instead of using the ruched flowers. I think they both give great results, but the look is totally different. The great thing about applique is you can choose different techniques to get the job done. I am one that likes to try new and challenging things, but not to the point that they are frustrating. So glad to moving along on my quest to complete Baltimore Garden.
Absolutely beautiful! Great job working through it. You have an amazing quilt in the making.
