............ it will test not only my patchwork and quilting skills, but also my ability to do appliqué! I've done the iron-on type before, but with this, I want to do the proper needle-turn appliqué ....... iron-on is fine for a wall-hanging, but as this is a quilt and will be washed (occasionally!), I think it needs to be sewn on. The pattern version has been made with a range of fabric called 'Madeira', but the shop had sold out of that when I bought the pattern, so I bought 'Wildflower Serenade' instead, which is fairly close to the Madeira range in its colours.
........... and here are the first three blocks completed

Nice pattern Julia, can't wait to see your progress on it. I am sure you will have no problem with the needleturn as you are so good at stitching.
Oh Julie, you are going a great job.. it looks like exactly the same as it is on the book... it will be gorgeous when you put all the 3 parts together!
