I've promised to post the only 2 blocks I have finished in this book:)(Third one is getting pinned as we post!)You can find the book at pickledish.com (kc books) I love this quilt and the blocks are about 22 1/2" each. This is my first for real appliqued quilt...may not be perfect, but, it has been much fun! So all that are too scared to dare....do it!:)It is addicting:)Skeat

Skeat---they are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! You are doing an awesome job!!!


Okay, everyone---I am the one who asked Skeat to post these. Tisha (quilter1962) and I are going to be doing this quilt too. We have already purchased the book and all the fabrics. But, I have several other projects that need to be finished before I start, so it may be January before I do my first block. I am not sure when Tisha will be starting.

This is going to be my first needleturn project too, but I picked it because the pieces are large and very do-able. Each block is 28" square and the quilt finishes at 84" square. The patterns and directions are very clear and easy to follow.

So---I am going to throw down the gauntlet----anyone else want to do this with us????? If Skeat does not mind, I am going to post my finished blocks in this thread too.

Here is what the book looks like
