Applique Group Show and Tell

Here is the show and tell I promised you. Don't you just love the sashing that Paula added to her blocks in the above photo? It looks vintage to me. Check out #3 block from the group. Here is a Bunny Hill BOM that was made by Carol and Lois Jean for Linda who is the proud owner of the quilt. The applique was done in wool. Too cute! Paula made this lovely quilt. Mary Ann had these blocks that her grandmother made. She was able to find some plain blue fabric for the sashing that matched the blocks perfectly. She put the quilt together and hand quilted it too. So pretty. Paula has been busy because she also made this wool project. She added beads to the leaves which is a very nice touch. Virginia has finished these two lovely blocks. Carol is working on an heirloom quilt for her new grandbaby. Look at the detail of these blocks. Hope the show and tell was worth the wait.

With Passion,

Carrie P.

I love that setting with the strips and nine patches. Is her wool project one from the "Pennies From Heaven" book? I'm caught up and have thrown myself into block #4. That heirloom baby quilt is just amazing!

Oh yes! I love Paula's sashing. It's Bliss, right? I've been thinking about adding that very piece to my applique that I'm working on. But didn't know how it would look. Now I know! It's gorgeous. And I love all the other pictures you posted, too. Good job, ladies!
