Well, this one was a doozie! As
I was half way through the applique, I was really second guessing my decision
to reduce these blocks from the original 19” to 10”. Look at all these little
buds! I eliminated two – can you spot which ones?
I didn’t think so. There is a
red Touch Me Not block coming up, but there are not as many buds on that one. I
think Esther made the pink one first and when she came to the red one she
figured out it looked just fine with half the buds!
I love the back of this one too. Because I am doing this in the potholder method, all of my backs will be a different chintz type fabric. Fun!
If you read my Blog regularly
you know I don’t use commercial patterns very often. They did a fantastic job reproducing
these patterns. They really are a pleasure to do. And, the proceeds from the
sale of this pattern goes to the Virginia Quilt Museum, so you just can’t go
wrong! Hope you will go to the link (here) and see all the great blocks. There
is so much creativity out there. You will be surprised at all the different
fabrics, colors and methods that some are using to make their blocks. Just
plain fun!
Another wonderful block!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Wendy. And this block has no worries from me. I will NOT be touching it!! : )
ReplyDeleteThat is a great backing fabric.
You've done a wonderful work as usual Wendy and the background fabric is stunning !
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! Loving those double pinks :0)
ReplyDeleteso pretty wendy and excellent applique work too!
ReplyDeletegoodluck with all the buds.........
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you did so well with all of those buds and leaves. I think I would have taken the name of the block literally and sewn a daisy instead. I love the back of your block too. Thanks for the links to see more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous block! I'm amazed you fit all those beautiful pink petals in. Thank you also for the wonderful link share and referral for the VA Quilt Museum!
ReplyDeleteThey are so appreciative for the exposure!
Your block is so pretty and I love the chintz on the back!
ReplyDeleteYour block is gorgeous. It looks like each one of those blossoms were different. Wow! The backing is going to be as wonderful as the top with all the different prints.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on all of those tiny buds. And your backing is to die for. The potholder technique is intriguing. I would like to see it in person.
ReplyDeleteWendy, the block came out beautifully! Such tiny pieces! And all so perfect. And the backing is awesome as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!
Very pretty. Love the background fabric. On my way to see the blocks!

Those little buds look like devils to stitch, but you did a wonderful job of it!
ReplyDeleteWendy, your work is so lovely! We really like the vivid orchid pink buds in these tiny prints. The block turned out perfectly. Thank you so much for these great photos. Best wishes from Marina and Daryl
ReplyDeleteOooh I love this Pink flower block! I also love the backing fabric. I have the brown color way of this on my king sized quilt.
ReplyDeleteIts always fun to see progress on this great project.
Wow, Wendy, I'm loving the blocks, but especially the fact that you are using a variety of Chintz fabrics for the backgrounds. Can't wait to see both sides of this one!

ReplyDeleteYou did it! I still have not changed out the check fabric I used for some of the flowers. I think it makes the design too busy. I like the backing fabric you used very much.
ReplyDeleteYou are beyond talented! I can't wait for my pot holder method class with you!
