Flower Pot Progress

I started on my Flower Pots journey well over a year ago when I took a class with Pam. Had never done any applique before, and was frankly a pretty awful hand sewer. But the pattern is so beautiful, I was determined to make it work.

My first block didn't take too long

but the second took well over a year. To be fair, I do have a 2 year old and a demanding job, but I'm trying to make more time to stitch, and finished this one earlier this week.

Now onto Block #3... pattern is traced, freezer paper shapes are cut... and starting to stitch...

I'm excited to share this journey with the rest of you. This blog is great inspiration to keep stitching!

Progress on block 2

Hi,

I thought I would show you my progress on block number 2.
I still love my red background, but at the same time I start hating it because I find it very hard to sew. Seems it is very coarse and hard. It was purchased at a quiltstore, so it's not that.
So I am thinking what to do. Continue? But quilting it by hand will be ??? And quilting it by machine is absolutely not my cup of tea. Yet anyhow.
And then to think that the red fabric was meant to be the backing of a very beautiful handquilted quilt to be.
Or should i just leave it be. And start another pattern of Kim's.
