These 2 blocks are my latest finishes for the Morrell Quilt. The first block is the first time I have done applique with more than 2 layers. I am certainly learning lots with this quilt. :) A couple of pieced blocks and some more broderie perse blocks coming next. I have a block with a paper pieced border coming up. Wish me luck, I haven't done paper piecing before.In the last week I have been inspired to try 3 new ideas by other bloggers. If I have success I will post pictures in the next couple of weeks.
The flowers below are all from my garden. The ranunculus have just started flowering and I love the variety of vibrant colours. The freesias are the very first of many. I love the perfume of freesias.
Lovely blocks Miriam...just lovely! The flowers look so fragrant that I swear I could smell them :o) Oh and I like the clock behind them too!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are just lovely.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the paper Piecing. I do not like to do paper piecing very much at all.
Your flowers are gorgeous.
Your blocks are just beautiful Miriam!! Did you apply the layers off the background or did you sew one on top of the other?

Those blocks look amazing, and your work looks very precise.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to join in but I think I have plenty already started.
Your applique is just beautiful Miriam. Gorgeous home grown flowers xo
ReplyDeletepretty flowers, so nice to be able to just pick your own
ReplyDeleteLOVE your new blocks...the look wonderful and I think paper piecing will be a lot easier than you think
Just Love your Applique blocks and your choice of colours. PAper-piecing is easy once you get the hang of it. Many years ago as a lover of Liberty too I paper-pieced miniature blocks 1 inch to form the yokes in the backs of my shirts. Lots of fun and I dicovered that every liberty fabric complimented each other no matter how different when it was cut small as they use the same colours just different prints.
ReplyDeleteKeep having Fun

BTW I just adore my Scisseroos. They cut so beautifully :-)
Both blocks are beautiful! I can't wait to see them all together. Good job!
