One the other design wall is one poor little lonely "Poinsettia Block".
I put it there when I was working yesterday to remind me that I really need to work on this wall hanging.
In the meantime, I resumed quilting on the "Snowbound" quilt yesterday. I finished stitching around the blocks and then started quilting on the blocks. I decided to do a edge to edge loop and stars meandering. I know most people don't quilt over the applique but I decided to see what it would look like. I can't make up my mind if I want to continue or rip it all out and start again.
I believe it looks fine on these Irish Chain blocks but . . .
I'm wondering if it looks too busy or takes away from the applique on the snowman blocks. I really dread taking it out but I don't want to mess up the quilt.
Be sure to stop by Judy L's to see what everyone else is working on .
with the way you did it - it looks fine to me :)

Vivian you're really working on some fun and pretty things! I really like your lone poinsettia block! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great to me, Vivian. I've been eyeing that Poinsettia quilt, too. I think 4 blocks would make a cute wallhanging for each of my daughters.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you; I could sit and look at your photo at the top of your blog and just sigh with pleasure!
I think it looks wonderful Vivian, so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteI think quilting over the applique looks great. Sometimes when you don't quilt over the applique the larger motif will puff out too much and gives it a look that may not be what you want. Don't tear it out, it is fab just the way it is!
ReplyDeleteLove your tree blocks. I collected the patterns in hope that I would someday make the quilt. I'm so glad your someday is closer than mine. LOL
