I feel like I've made some progress this week with a few more new blocks for my GT&SB quilt...
Garden Path 6" block
Having lots of fun mixing up my stash for this project,
little bits of modern, Liberty, vintage - love how they all play together!
a cute bundle of Liberty- lious 10" squares - I'll cut into them next time!
1st applique flower block
I've got a 1/4 yd of this pretty 'Betsy' tana lawn Liberty
so I'm planning on scattering bits of it throughout the quilt
Along with machine piecing, I'm doing needle turn applique
- h-m-m-m- it's been a while since I had to do itty bitty leaves like these,
guess I'll get better by the time I've made the 20th one, yes?!?
Double Pinwheel 6" block
So not a fast finish by any means, but very enjoyable watching it slowly grow.
What are you working on this week?

A lovely quilt and fabrics :)
Oh, I like the appliqué block!
That's some lovely blocks you have there, can't wait to see what these will become. Pretty colors too.
Oh those blocks are so pretty--love your choices of prints--that green onthe stems is just perfect with the rest...hugs, Julierose
great progress! Very pretty!
I really like the fabrics you are throwing into this quilt. Jen's quilts are a bit like Kaffe's, the more variety and colour used, the better they look. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Love the fabric mix!
Thanks Karyn! Those leaves were a bit tricky, it’s years since I did any appliqué! I notice though, on looking around, not everyone gets them perfect... just like nature! Linda
Thanks! Yes I agree, it’s a great pattern for variety, using up little bits of everything! I’m just conscious of keeping the backgrounds fairly light so the pretty blocks can stand out just a little. Linda
Such a happy mix of fabric.
Thank you Julie! Yes, it's a real scrappy adventure!
I'm using lots of little bits of everything. Green is probably the one colour I don't have much of, I suspect I'll be repeating those particular ones! Linda
This is going to be such a charming quilt. I think you have made great progress. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
I love your flower blocks, Linda. You do make the best flowers -- of all varieties!
