This is my first big applique project!!  I finally got all the applique all done after 3 years!!  Maybe another year before I can quilt it!!!  LOL 

Tulips N Anemones

 

When my sister and I pieced this quilt together (I cut and iron, she did the sewing), we pieced all the blocks the wrong way!  When I got home, I had to take take them all apart and redo.  This is what I have done so far.  I have yet to put the sashing and a border on it.  After that, I have to applique hearts in between the blocks.  

I am glad the top is done!  Like I said earlier, this is one of the easiest pattern to make.  Perfect if you are a beginner.  Easy cutting and piecing together strips of fabric only!!  

Ok almost done!!!  Just sewing the border and that's it!!  I won't be doing the quilting myself as I know I can't do as well as the pro!!!  I still do not have the confidence to do it on my own!!  I don't mind a small baby quilt but this one is a king size.  My Juki is in semi- retirement mode!! LOL  I have only been practising with it but without putting it on the frame!!

This is one of the best part in making a quilt top!!  Sewing the sashings and the borders!!!  I chose a dark brown print n cut it into 3" strips for the sashing. 

I put together 36 blocks for this quilt.  Decided to piece together  a 6 x 6 because if I did a 5 x 6 the fall would not be enough at the sides.  I think with the sashings and border I might just get a nice drop at the sides.  I like the idea that I don't have to get all the strips in line with each other!!  I only have to make sure that the joints at the green blocks are joined correctly in the middle!!!!

The alternate block with the lighter shade of  brown!!
