Floral Reflections

I decided to work on an old UFO.  I mentioned Floral Reflections when I created my Focus List and shared the project in this post.

I shared that I must have started this project sometime in the 90’s, and that all twelve blocks had been fused and then set aside.

The next step is to machine applique the blocks, and that is what I am working on.  I have begun by using Sulky rayon threads and a small zig-zag stitch on the leaves and stems of the flowers.

The quilt inspector is trying hard to stay awake, but she is bored with this project.

A few close ups of my not so tidy stitching:

When I finish the leaves and stems, I will move on to the berries and flowers.

Quilt on!

August OMG 2017 Goal

Patchwork Times announced the number 8 as the UFO goal for August.

My number 8 is these floral blocks:

One Monthly Goal - Floral Blocks

I stitched these 3 blocks many moons ago when I was teaching a machine applique class.

What to do…pillows…, a table runner…, a wall hanging…, tote bags? 

Hmmmmm….

I am linking up with Elm Street Quilts for One Monthly Goal (OMG).
