I needed some handwork for Joseph's nap times today, and since I don't have a hand quilting project ready I took my appliqué. I've not worked on blocks for the Mid-Century Album Quilt for quite awhile, so it was a refreshing change to work on one of those blocks today. You may remember that I trimmed the last block I made incorrectly, so it had to go into the orphan drawer. That soured me on this quilt for awhile.This dove is a finished 8" block. I completed all the appliqué while Joseph napped - except for two leaves. I did those when I got home. I'm happy with how it turned out. I have one more block prepped - an eagle - that I can take to Tangled Threads tonight to work on. Looks like I'd better spend Thursday prepping some handwork. Wonder what I can do while Joseph naps tomorrow?
I don't know what you'll do while Joseph naps, but tell us how is Joseph doing?

ReplyDeleteLove you applique block. Since I have only been to your blog a couple times, I went back to see what the Mid-Century Album Quilt is. What a wonderful project. I would love to have your teacher live close by here.
ReplyDeleteHandwork is always such a pleasure. Love the block - the fabrics are just right *s*
