I've done several of Karen Stones quilts but not Cinco yet. Hugs
There's no applique in this one. It's a New York Beauty type. Mine took me 6 months to piece together, another month to decide the final placement of the blocks, tearing some blocks apart and remaking them w/ different fabric in the arcs. Then a couple weeks to fmq and sitd. I made it in 2 sections, then sewed them together by hand on the back. I'll see if I have a photo of it somewhere.
Thanks so much for posting a pic and your reply. It is gorgeous! I bet you had a gas picking fabrics to put together! Love your fabric choices. You have inspired me to dig the book out a re-assess! LOL Hugs
