I feel like a marathon runner at the Olympics,
but I am quickly approaching the last of the 96 petals.
I wonder if they tire of the journey as the end draws near?
My fingers are aching from piercing the needle through wool and seams
as I buttonhole stitch my way around the track.
Just a little disappointed my body has not become lean and mean like theirs!
So worth it, though.
I love this one!
I am anxious to stitch the last petal,
quilt it quickly and
add the icing to the cake...
the scrappy binding.
Wouldn't a miniature version...
meaning only 5 snowball units...
I am not that insane...
be sweet too?
I have been admiring your quilt...it is gorgeous!! That blanket stitch is so worth it!! Beautiful fabrics your have chosen too!

ReplyDeleteProgress at lightning speed. Sure to score a gold metal :0) Just realized its a two block quilt like the red and white quilt I made last year. This is an entirely different look and a stash buster as well. I love your quilt and the petals really add to it's personality. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThe applique is the perfect finishing touch to this quilt design. Lots of stitching involved. The colors are rich looking too.

ReplyDeleteHi, Cheryl. Well, all I can say is "ditto"! I do love appliqué. Hope you can show a closeup so we can see the stitching. Very pleasing fabrics and colors. A summer well spent!

Cheryl, Your quilt is sure beautiful. I love all the rich a vibrant colors in it. I image your fingers do ache from stitching through the wool. But what a wonderulful idea to use it. I can see my wool scraps have a great use now.
