moving on with grandmothers quilt




I have been trying to get back into doing my grandmothers quilt applique, from Janet Boltons book, so this week I have done these two 'squares'. Funny how sometimes work grows on me, I started off doing the cat because I liked the look of that square, and was putting off the dog and sheep one, as I didn't like it much. I modelled the cat on 'Butterscotch'- our family cat when I was growing up. Now they are both done, I like the dog and sheep one much better.

The next square I am looking forward to doing as it is geese, and I love the movement it has. hopefully tonight.

Hi - those blocks are beautiful - and like you I think the dog and sheep one is the best - I just love the colours and how they work so harmoniously with each other. By the way, I finally worked out how to post my jb pictures to the flicker group yesterday. Lucy

Your blocks are wonderful. I love how they are finished around the edges. I need to do that to my Noah blocks. Are you going to put this one in a frame?
