Fancy Farm Girl, Block 9 of Hazel’s Diary Quilt, is complete with the addition of the appliqué in the center:
I’m happy to report the appliqué process went well today. A good thing, as a couple of weeks have passed with no appliqué at all. Maybe I just needed a little break.
I departed from designer Shelly Pagliai’s design by rotating the leaves a quarter turn and enlarging the motif by 20%. When the block is set on point, as it will be in the finished quilt, the leaves form an X rather than a +:
Coco kept me company:
What is it with cats and boxes and bags?
Coco says that container is just the right size.
I bet she likes to settle on whatever magazine or newspaper someone is reading, too.
The block looks great!
Coco looks like she might be more comfortable in a slightly larger container.
Happy holidays!
That Coco is just too much! She always makes me laugh!
Queen “Coco,” we adore. Love the quilt block!
