A Passion for Applique: Accomplishment!

Accomplishment!

Yesterday I was able to sew three of the blocks for Mr. P's quilt and today I finished the last two.

Here are all them together. I know how I want to set them but I need to buy some fabric for the sashing. These blocks are from a quilt that Dawn Heese designed. You can see her quilt here. I am going to set my differently because I don't want my quilt to be a square. Stay tuned to see my setting. Thanks for sharing your quilt with us, Dawn.

So this week I will work on my row along from Lori Holt's blog, the mittens row. Until tomorrow I will go ahead and continue my hand quilting and link up to Kathy's blog for Slow Sunday Stitching.

Kudos go to LynCC of What a Hoot!, and Mama T of Mama T Keeps you in Stitches. and Simone de Klerk for finishing their first UFO! You go girls!

With Passion,
Carrie P.
