Finished two more Northern Wilderness blocks over the last two days... The appliques are getting harder, though I haven't done ALL the easy ones yet. I think the mountains will be the easiest ones of all. Some of the ones coming up look uber hard though - like the fireweed and the outhouse. We'll see when I get to them I guess.
These are forget-me-nots, I did my best to match the colors, but since I'm working from stash, I'm stuck with what I have. Not too bad, I think.
This is a bald eagle. Very hard block to edge-stitch the appliques on... all those branches and feathers! Glad it's done though.
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the process, just not always the backache that I get doing this much detailed stitching. Maybe I need to adjust my chair?
Anyway - more to come... soon I hope, though I have a class to teach on Saturday that I have to prep for so I don't know how much work I'll get done on this quilt until next week.
Love these! Good for you for getting the edge-stitching done as you go. I find it far too easy to put that process off on my McKenna Ryan projects since I have such a longgggg to-do list. Eventually I'm going to have to buck up and do this step!
