This is my first Celtic block, hand appliqued to a 15" block. I hope to keep adding others over time. Thanks for looking :)

Hi cherrio, this was a pattern that was blown up. A lady in the group I visit with on Friday's made the block first and taught us the technique. It really is not hard at all, just time consuming. I might be able to cut it into fourths and copy to the computer and email it that way and you can print out and tape together? The size does not have to be as large. Thanks for looking :)

Your work is beautiful! :thumbup:

Nice color and print choices- I love the little plaid that you used for the lines... great idea to make one at a time over time... I might be able to handle that!

Yes I did! It was from a fq, Cut on the bias at 1 1/4, then folder into thirds and pressed.. End result 3/8 bias tape.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love Celtic. I am working on one Celtic block now too for a group quilt. I did not mind the Celtic but the itty bitty pieces in the flowers are driving me nuts.
