Block 9

I would think by now my applique skills would be getting better!! There isn't a lot of smooth going on here. I thought I'd use a different green on the leaves. I'm not happy with it, but am not taking it out or making it over. There are enough blocks in this quilt that I think it will blend in just fine.

When I went to print out the next block I see I missed block 8 all together. I remedied that and now have one leaf appliqued on it. There are a lot of leaves on that block!!

    I think this is a great block. The quilts that I am admiring and being inspired by are far from perfect. In fact, I'm not renewing my mag subscriptions as I'm just not inspired by what is in them lately. Now give me a book on quilts from the late 1800's, that's a different story!

    You know what? I think your block looks great! i agree with Sharon, I am more inspired by the rest of us than I am by looking in some of the newer magazines lately. Quilt shows, friends, etc are more inspiring.

    I think your block looks great Lori. One of my fav greens there I see! When I go to a show, I do not look at the stitches, or the smooth edges, I look at the overall effect. There is going to be SO MUCH in the finished quilt, no one will notice any of our perceived imperfections. Wendy

    I like your block. Maybe it looks different when it's close to your face but on my monitor it looks good. And yes - block 8 does have a lot of leaves!
