I have made more progress on the Quilt Nouveau Designs pattern, ‘Floral Reflections’, by Binky.
The yellow appliques are now stitched to the background fabric.
A few close ups:
I have also squared up my blocks to 12 inches. They are .5″ larger than the pattern called for. Rather than squaring to 11.5″, I have decided to adjust the borders when I am ready to work with them.
The blocks are set with sashing and squares, so working on borders will be next!
Quilt On!

Just a quick update of the progress of Floral Reflections...
All of the purple applique pieces are now stitched.
On to the yellow pieces, and then the applique will be finished!
Quilt On!
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!
