Barn quilt and Dresden
#57
All 3 are so bright and cheerful. I like your use of color.
My favorite is the Cherry applique. ...because my last name is Cherry. Please keep us posted on the outcome.
I thought of Jar covers when I saw the round shape of the cherry applique with scalloped edges.
Did you use large ric-rac to create the scallop edges ? Thanks for sharing your works of heart.

Hope these pictures help with how I made the block. The Dresden blades were made from a charm pack. Each charm was cut into (4) 2.5 squares. and then I used a the ruler shown to cut the blades. The picture shows a 2.5 strip but the concept is the same. The circle for the center is about 8.5, depending on your 1/4 seam it could be smaller or larger. Just measure and make that size. for the scallops I measured the finished with of the blade a made a template with a half circle . I used the freezer paper method. The cherries are made with perfect circle templates, you can google them. the leaves were hand drawn for a template and the stems are 1/4 finished bias binding strips made with pressing bars that can be google and purchased. and the gingham around the circle is 1/2 finished bias binding made with the pressing bars also. I'm going to try to get together a free pattern to put on my blog for those interested it should take me a week or two. Tons of applique work!
