Feathered Star Applique

Slowly I've been making progress on these applique blocks. Four corner blocks and one center block. The project at work is slow so I can work on it there.

I've been packing this afternoon for a family trip we are taking over the weekend (Wednesday to Monday). We are going fishing to Minnesota to a resort we took the kids to allot when they were little. They are both excited and so is my son-in-law.
It will be a nice break and a lot of fun for all of us.

Feathered Star

I've been sewing on this quilt this week. It's from Kim Diehl's book Simple Traditions. It's finished size is 52 x 52". It has 5 applique blocks and four pieced blocks in the center and then the outer border.


Here's my progress on the pieced blocks. I have all the pieces cut and working on the sewing. It's nice to just sit and sew sometimes.

The applique is going okay. I have not had a lot of luck with applique in the past. I've been reading hints and the needle turn applique is starting to work for me. I'm not struggling as much this time. I guess you have to keep trying.
