This is the pattern the blocks are from. I have it in my to do pile. Have started accumulating fabric for it.

Wonderful work

Wow! That is beautiful!

Thank you dungeonquilter for posting the link - isn't it a wonderful pattern! Thank you all for the kind comments. I would like one day to make the whole quilt but for the moment I am starting small. I am going to make some of those blocks up as placemats. I really enjoyed hand stippling the background. I liked that the traditional block matched the applique.

Ditto Kitsykeel....beautiful and very clever to "match" the applique to the pieced block ! Your friend is sure to be so pleased.

My SIL would love this! Great job!:thumbup:

nice for somebody that enjoys the out doors
