My One Monthly Goal for December was to finish appliqueing the blocks below, "Cacti" and "Stocks." I'm pleased to have finished both before the last day of the month (and the year!).
Both are far less than perfect. The patterns are quirky to begin with, but I think my interpretation adds another level of quirkiness to them. The vase on the right -- oh my gosh thank goodness it's fabric and not ceramic. If pottery it would certainly tip over and spill both water and flowers.
It's going to be interesting to see how all the blocks for this quilt work together (or fail to do so). There are two more to stitch: "Pineapple" and "Marigolds and Blueberries."

My flowers quilt is nothing but quirky!! LOL! Yours is so lovely...the colors really are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie. Quirky always works for primitive quilts, doesn't it?
DeleteI love your "Snaps" block, the colors are perfect and that vase is just the right size and shape - it looks like you are viewing through an old wavy glass window to a distant table inside a country cabin. Very charming!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat. I love the image of viewing through old, wavy glass in a country cabin. I will remember than as I continue to work on this quilt.
DeleteCongratulations on your finishes!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Frédérique.
DeleteThese are fun blocks. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy, and thanks for creating and hosting Peacock Party.
DeleteGreat work, I love your blocks. Still looking for my patterns. I have a suspicion I gave them away after I finished my quilt. Anyway love how yours is looking!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment about my blocks, Karrin.
DeleteI hope you find your patterns, or maybe remember who may have them so you can borrow them back for a while.
I think it turned out beautifully! Both blocks are lovely. Nice work, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janet.
