I made a test block and then put it all away for a good while.
The blocks were made over the a couple of weeks, Karen did the quilting and I picked it up on Friday. Finished stitching down the binding last night.
I love "orange peel" quilting and it works so well with this quilt design, and the border fabric.
On Wednesday night I cut into my "Vintage Picnic" layer cake - I've been saving this for a while and decided to use it to make the larger version of "Apple Pie", with Ruby Ice for the chain blocks.
Drew lines on the Ruby Ice for the half-square-triangles at lunchtime yesterday
and made two blocks last night - think I'm going to like how this will turn out (when I eventually get back to it).
Elizabeth, Matt and ChaCha gave me this gorgeous bundle of fabric for my birthday a couple of months ago.
The bundle was added to the Alison Glass fabrics I have left over from Jenni's "Tessellation" quilt for "Long Time Gone", a quilt designed by Australian Wonder-Woman Jen Kingwell. Made the first block last night - thrilled to bits with the beautiful colours and very keen to make some more blocks.
