Hooked on Quilting

I also host this quilt on my appliqué Yahoo group and this is block 4, Firecracker Wreath, which we were to have finished in May. Again, I'm going to have to move on to block 5 with the rest of the group. This is really going to be quite simple the next time I pick up each block because I have prepped most of them. Life just keeps getting in the way.

This is my block for the month of May-unfinished block, I should say. This is block 6, Christmas Bouquet and I am doing it with an appliqué Yahoo group. We have moved on to block 7, so I'll have to put this aside for a while and I'll get to it when I can or maybe we will do another round for each month.

I belong to a Yahoo group that focuses on appliqué. I hostess this particular quilt and this is my block 6 for the month of May. I did not get as much progress done as I'd hoped. We have decided to move on to block 7. Here's how I'm leaving this block so I'll know where I left off when I pick it up again. LOL

I decided to take a practice run at the DWR. I used scraps for the trial run. I cut up the pattern to see if I could use 2" strips and it looks like that should be enough to paper piece it. I just used muslin for the melons, but I think I'll order some white for the real quilt.

Here's another block From another BOM that I'm hosting on an appliqué Yahoo group. It's the Heart Bouquet block and it's got a cute little flag in the shape of a heart. Again, it is not stitched, just prepped. It seems it takes more than a month for me to do a block with this many pieces.

I am hosting a couple of BOM's on an appliqué Yahoo group. This is block #5. My job is to assign a block per month for those working on this particular quilt to complete. As hostess, I'm probably expected to finish, but I have yet to complete an assignment!!! LOL This was March's assignment. Sadly, I did not complete the block in March so I deemed April as the catch up month to give us more time to finish it. Not everything is stitched and of those pieces that aren't stitched, some need more prep work. I really do need the practice, but I feel I'm getting a little better.

Here's my latest little project for my grandson and it's been in the queue for quite awhile. I'm going to try to do a row or two this morning
