second block


Here is my second block. Phew, it took a long time as I worked very hard with everyone's suggestions on the inner curves of the leaves. I've gotten better thanks to all of you! I'm really amazed at the progress of some of you! I think I'm the snail in this journey, but that's ok. Nedra

  1. Your block is beautiful, Nedra. I agree that those inner curves can be challenging. And whether each of us is a snail or not, I feel it's all about the process and enjoying the end result whenever we get there. I'm not working on any other applique until my Stars and Sprigs pattern arrives so maybe I am just a rock.....for the moment!

  2. Snails are kind of cute little creatures. . . I know because I am one too. It's the old saying, "Slow and steady wins the race."

  3. I love all the movement you created with the fabrics in your block. It doesn't matter if we are the snail or the turtle, all it matters is if we are having fun, from the looks of your beautiful block, you are.

  4. It looks wonderful and I don't think it matters at all how quickly or slowly your make the blocks so long as you're enjoying the process...I'm not a quick stitcher either :)

  8. SO pretty! It's not a race Nedra..it's a journey. Enjoy your stitching. In the end it won't matter how long it took. It will matter that you have a beautiful quilt. :)
