First sprigs


I finished my first Sprigs block this weekend! This is such a fun quilt to make. Each little applique is like it's own little project. There is so much variety that one block just flows into another. I also completed six of the stars but I can see I need to stop using blue and pink.

    Nice start Taryn, I really like your fabric choices. This quilt calls out to me, a little piecing, a little applique...
    Have fun with it,
    Cheri

    Lovely blocks Taryn! You’ve inspired me to make a Stars and Sprigs quilt. But first I need to finish my Lollypop quilt!

    I love your blocks. I am enjoying making mine; and mostly I am enjoying seeing all the other Star and Sprigs here. The stars are great, and your applique very nice.

    I love your blocks! It's a treat to see the pattern done in sort of fabrics that might have been used in the original quilt that inspired this pattern.

    oooooh....this is beautiful and proves that a good pattern will work with any fabric and be stunning. Sometimes the pattern makes the quilt. Sometimes it's the fabric. I think Kim has the ability to design patterns that let both be the stars!

    your blocks are wonderful, I really like the blocks made with the reproduction fabrics. It's so wonderful to have this list to share the different fabrics And the ways we are doing things.

    Thanks to everyone for your nice words and encouragement on the Stars and Sprigs quilt. I am going to set myself an ambitious deadline to finish it by April next year. I am making the appointment with the machine quilter for then so I can get it back in time for my guild show.
