Floral Reflections Update

Posted on March 16, 2020 | 19 comments

My version of the Floral Reflections pattern now has borders and has become a flimsy!

I am so happy to have another very old UFO make it to this stage!

It is approximately 58″ x 72″.

My corner squares are not crooked; it is simply the way the flimsy is hanging that makes them look as if they are not straight.

I do, however, have points cut off from the nine patches in the borders.  Oops!

But they are consistent, and I am okay with that!

Just a quick update of the progress of Floral Reflections...

All of the purple applique pieces are now stitched.

Floral Reflections

Posted on February 22, 2020 | 19 comments

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.
