My current obsession

I have the pattern for the Roseville Album quilt, I just need to clone myself if I want to start stitching it. Maybe I'll weaken when I start seeing the blocks made up by the others.
The only reason I haven't started it yet is because I have some blinkers on so I can focus on getting my other Kim McLean patterns done. I do have a little problem with UFO's.
I've been stitching away on this pattern of Kim's that I've had called Stars and Sprigs that's not available for purchase just yet. I decided to tackle a border before all the blocks are done just to mix it up a bit.
Here's where I'm at right now. Having it up on the wall in the sewing room is very motivating, I love this pattern so much and I'm having too much fun with it to switch projects just yet.
Thanks Pam for hosting this new and exciting blog! I can't wait to see what comes up in terms of fabrics and colours.

    I liked the Stars and Sprigs when I saw your blocks in progress. I LOVE the border! It really makes the quilt extra special, and as always I just love the way you are able to place your template on the fabric to choose the perfect motif. :)

    I just got the Roseville pattern and background fabric and can't wait to start. I also want to do the Stars and Sprigs when it comes out.
    Great idea to start a "hard core" applique blog. I can't wait to see all the beautiful quilts.
