Can't Quite Move On


I have the new hand applique quilt pattern I mentioned in the last post that I want to start, but I can't quite quit on the red and green applique blocks.

I finished three more blocks and now have 25 completed.

I have been playing around with an arrangement for the blocks and kind of like this one:

I think I am going to stop with these 25 blocks.  The blocks will finish at 9 inches and I would like the quilt to be around 70 to 80 inches square when complete so I have to come up with some sashing and borders.  I love taking pictures of the blocks and then seeing them on the blog.  It gives me a different perspective.  Maybe I will do a little more rearranging of the center vertical and horizontal rows (the "square" applique blocks)  Maybe those 4 outside row heavier blocks should be around the center block?

Or not...I think the rearranging may go on a bit : )
Happy Stitching!

  1. Love your blocks! Your rearranging reminds me of my Cherry Tree blocks- trying to figure out where to place them I finally just had to stop or I"d be arrANGING FOREVER! LOl

  2. Such lovely blocks! Together they look fabulous! I like the square blocks more spread out as in the first picture. You'll figure it out :0)

  3. I was spending some time looking at applique blocks on your blog. Are these red & green blocks from a pattern set or a variety of patterns? Love them!
