Next block finished

 


The Pomegranate block from 'When the Wind Blows is all ready to be machine appliqued. 

I loved doing this block.  There are 3 dots that go on each of the solid dark pomegranates on either side that I'll do after the machine work is done.

Karen at Karensquilting.com has just completed her pomegranate block too.  It is so delightful - all done in oranges.  Go here to see.


My husband brought in a bouquet of Dahlias.  Aren't they beautiful?

I got out some decorations for fall today.  It makes me laugh because fall always gets decorated with Jo Morton quilts from Little Women 11.  They just make everything look like Autumn.

Your Pomegranate block looks wonderful, Robin. Lovely bouquet and coincidentally I mentioned Jo in my post today. I borrowed her book from the library.

Ongoing progress

I finished the center with the gifts and put on a double star border.  It now measure 48" square. Now I'm at a standstill. . .  I&#...
