......quite a bit of my sewing time in the last couple of weeks has been taken up making this Morrell Quilt block. That 10 inch block has 193 pieces in it! The centre octogon was appliqued on, but all the rest is hand pieced. Twenty blocks to go now!I haven't had as much sewing time as I would have liked recently, so I have only managed a little progress on some projects.
We have had some sunshine today so I took my latest hexie for One Flower Wednesday outside to photograph.
Two more Joseph Coat blocks are finished. I have 22 completed now.
I have always wanted to make an album quilt and I have seen some very tempting traditional quilts, but I haven't seen one that I would really love to make.
Look at this version of an album quilt..............
The Roseville Album is Kim McLean's latest pattern. I succumbed! Pam and Kathie have started the quilt. Pam has created a blog just for Kim McLean quilts. Glorious Applique is a feast for the eyes. :)
I'm not sure when I will start this quilt......I have a few WIP to get finished first. lol
A rosemary flower in the sunshine in my garden this morning.
What a lovely Morell block.And the Joseph coat blocks very nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a post from you. I have purchased the Morrell pattern, not sure when I will begin but love seeing what you are up to with it.
ReplyDeleteLovely post
Oh Miriam your Morrell block is amazing! I love the colors :o) and the piecing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe Joseph Coat blocks and the hexie flower are so pretty too.
I think the Roseville Album quilt is the "end all" for applique lovers and I'll be excited to follow the progress on this one.
Beautiful blocks Miriam!! I'm waiting for Sprigs and Stars to be released then I'm buying several of Kim's patterns. She's an amazing designer.

Your Morrell block is just beautiful and so precisely stitched - well done with all those tiny pieces.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, I guess I know what's kept you busy. Your block is amazing, I don't know if I would have stayed with it. Great job.
ReplyDeletewow pleased you made that block.........lots of pieces but it looks great..........
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could finish that amazing block. For that matter, the pattern you picked out is so intimidating, I need medication.
ReplyDeleteYou rule!
Miriam, that block is so amazing... gorgeous! I would even frame it!
ReplyDeleteAnd that album quilt... oh, my! I have seen some of kathie's... (when I grow up as a quilter, perhaps! in the meantime I swoon...)
Lovely hexi-flower! and the JC's colours are a delight!
...and you say you haven't had much time for stitching! :)
Wow, seems to me you are still getting plenty done. All these blocks are fabulous Miriam. I love the photo of your hexi in the tree. I can't wait to get started on Roseville, will you make it? xo
