I have another cherry quilt in the works. I had made 48 cherry applique squares originally, thinking to set them 6 x 8, so I have 18 left after making this quilt. I have a setting block in mind for them, but don't know when I'll get to it. My friend that I showed that design to said she will like it better than this one, so we'll see. I'll have to take a vote when they are both done.
