I think my favorite block in the whole thing is the tree.
They're all unique blocks.
As I look at the pics of mine, I see how I struggled. I was a beginner and I couldn't cut straight or sew straight. Each block in the quilt was a new experience for me.
I like how yours turned out much better, Puzzwhiz. I still have all the applique to do -- oh, did you notice the applique piece in the middle of the quilt is on the back of our new nickles too.
I have so many applique patterns to use. The one that's intimidiating is the applique pattern of Lewis and Clark scoping out the terrain and pointing off in the distance. The one of Saquagewia (can't begin to spell that dear lady's name) is not the easiest to make out.
