What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 All the blocks are done for "Miss Emilie's Garden".  Now they need trimmed, sashing added and then to applique the borders.

Whoops on the photo above.  The picture turned out blurry but you get the idea of what it looks like.

And now a start on another applique project.  The two blocks below are from a pattern by Blackbird Designs with Cherie Ralston.  The pattern set is "Samples From the Past".  The Miss Emilie blocks will finish at 8 inches.  The new blocks will finish at 20 inches so larger in size and a longer amount of time to ...
