This is Friendship Garden. It is a design by Alma Allen and Cherie Ralston. I love the way the pieced sashing and borders look with the applique blocks. This is a BIG quilt - I had no idea it would finish this big. The blocks finish at 20" square. I collected many different yellow for my background - but when it was time to choose I used entirely different fabrics! :-)
This is Primitive Primer, designed by Jan Patek and Sue Spargo. It was really fun raiding my stash for this one. The pink plaid is a very old Roberta Horton. I had to tea dye it to tone it down. I did this as a month by month project with one of my yahoo groups. It was really fun seeing how different everyone's turned out.
Now time had better win out - I need to finish getting ready for work!

Patti I love both of these quilts, on my list of ufo's have to admit!
someday they will get done.
Primitive Primer is on my to-do list too. I like your bright color choices!
Your appliques look wonderful. I'm not good at dedicating time to applique, but enjoy seeing others work...
I love those quilts. I want to do some hand applique but have never taken the time to perfect the technique and always give up and go back to the machine.

Both quilts are very nice. I like applique quilts but don't do much myself - except for big pieces like my heart quilt I'm finishing up.

Hi Patti! I"ve been so busy lately I haven't had time to check in on everyone. Your FG turned out great! I would never have thought to do it in those colors, but it looks wonderful! I'm hand quilting my PP right now (ok not this second but I've started it!)
