Every Wednesday, I am sharing one of the UFO’s in my studio, whether mine or from someone else.
Today is another one from my Mother.
She LOVED doing blanket-stitch applique by hand, and her stitching was always PERFECT! She even won a ribbon at the Fair for “Best Machine Applique” because the judges couldn’t tell that it was done by hand.
She found this design and decided that she wanted to applique it…..
I agree with her that it is a pretty little block, especially when cut into a hexagon.
The problem is that she didn’t stop with one, or even four…..
She made FOURTEEN of these blocks, each perfectly appliqued and each exactly alike!!
I am afraid that trying to put them all together in one quilt would be pretty boring.
What would you do?

In this blog, I post stories about creativity, techniques, tools of the trade, and lots more about the wonderful art of quilting. If you are enjoying these posts, please subscribe to be notified of each new blog as it becomes available.
I think table runners and pillows would be pretty. You could give one project to each grandchild as a memory of their grandmother.
