Floral Reflections

Posted on September 23, 2020 | 14 comments

Now that the Let’s Sew quilt is finished, the next project on my Focus 2020 list that I choose to tackle is Floral Reflections. I talked about this project back in November 2019.

There have been several updates since then.

I don’t have photos of it, but I am currently stitching in the ditch all of the sashing and border seams. Most of the basting pins are now removed, and the quilt is easier to handle.

I thought that I would be traditional and quilt hanging diamonds, but I have changed my mind. I am machine quilting, and I don’t want to quilt over the applique, nor do I want to break thread.

Therefore, I will be outline stitching the applique and stitching a filler design in the blocks.

Quilt On!

August OMG 2017 Goal Update

My number 8 goal was to do something with some machine applique floral sample blocks.

I squared the blocks to 12-1/2″.

Triangles were added to set the blocks on point.

After squaring and setting the blocks on point, I decided to turn them into autumn placemats.

I kept the quilting simple; straight lines, echo, and meandering (I’m not making Van Gogh or Picasso art pieces after all). Here’s a look at the back:
