SVBAQ Blue Flag finished



I have finished the second block (actually I made 4 of the first “Pineapple” block) in the SVBAQ sew along and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I did do a little pattern re-work. I didn’t like the little stem on the buds. It’s not perfect now but I like it better. I am in hopes that this will mean I can keep up with this project in a timely fashion.



I mentioned last week that I have taken on yet another sew-a-long with Audrey from Quilty Folk. I have found the perfect little case to keep my little circle blocks in. My plan is to prep 7 blocks on Sunday and pick one at random every morning to applique down. A circle a day keeps the boredom away – seriously?? Are we ever bored?

  1. The blessing of being a quilter (among other things) is to totally not understand how people get bored!!
    Your block is outstanding! Purples and cheddar--be still my heart! : )
    Ahh, such a cute little case for your circles.

  2. Your block is simply fabulous, I just stopped and stared at it for a couple minutes before reading on, cheddar and purple!! I really must learn to applique small pieces better. So happy you decided to join in on Audrey's Quilty 365 project. Quilting is the antithesis of boredom!

    1. It took me a long time to dare to tackle small applique pieces. I have found they are no more difficult than large ones, in fact they take less time. I adore applique. It is my one true addiction.

  4. Beautiful Flag block Wendy - am loving that cheddar background - yum!
    I like your plan with the circle blocks and as soon as I get a moment I' m taking this sewalong on too! Prepping a week's worth at a time is a great idea - will make keeping up easier to manage. Love your little block keeper :)

  5. I like the combo of the purples and blues. Are you going to have the same background fabric throughout the quilt or a variety?

  10. Your applique is beautiful. What a cute container for your circle quilt - I am doing it too. I haven't entered a quilt in a show, but mostly because I don't like paying the money for entering, shipping, etc.

  12. I came to see your iris block since I just finished mine. It was dooser for me, but it turned out alright I think. Love the little differences each quilter adds or changes. Love how yours look on the cheddar background.
