HI MaryAnna....
Great to catch up with you - yes, I perhaps should have done applique - it was in my mind..and then I opted for the origianl pattern..but the little background square in the base of the apple wasn't sitting with me so I just made the red strip longer...I prefer it like that - glad you think so as well :-)
It is good to be caught up - I am cleaning though patterns, papers....having a good productive day.....
Now, waiting for October's instructions...I am looking forward to having the next 3 months of rows so that I can start to see how I will finish this one off.....I think it is going to be a wonderful sampler quilt......I will be adding different rows or whatever because I am planning on this one being at least a throw or single size..perhaps even a double.......will have fun with it after the center panel is complete.......
It has been a lot of fun so far :-)
Hoep you are having a great weekend...
Back to the sorting and organizing..... :-)
