Second Posie block finished


This is the second of my Fresh Picked Posies BOM by Piece 'O Cake designs.  I have had this BOM for a while and did not make any of the blocks.  I sewed up the first block a while ago.  Since I have so many applique projects in progress, I decided I need to get busy working on them.

When I started to applique this block, I could tell that my skills were lagging.  I remember my applique teacher saying that she had good applique days and bad applique days.  She also said that if she did not applique for a while, she had to find her rhythm again.  I certainly had lost my rhythm for sure.  By the time I was over half way through this block, I felt that I had made good progress toward my goal of finding my rhythm again. 

Next I want to pull out my Whimsical Garden blocks and sew up another one of those blocks.  I have several Piece 'O Cake projects in the works.  Some almost finished and some just barely half way done.  Time, time, I need more time!  LOL!

Happy Quilting

Wow, your block looks great! Yeah, sometimes we get a little rusty with some of our skills when we don't do it for awhile. I hope you're getting your applique "groove" back now! Your applique always looks so wonderful!

I think applique is like machine quilting. You need a warm-up to get the rhythm.
