an applique project

I restarted an older ufo applique project - across the wide missourri- this year for the rainbow scrap challenge. I started it 2018. I made 3 blocks before abandoning the project that year.               






At the beginning of this year, I had a few blocks finished, and, I wanted to work month by month with the rainbow scrap challenge.

I chose block 6 to start.


I finished the tree  and  the stars. I cut pieces for the chimney and cabin, and that, was it for the rest of the year. I gave up. But, as I plan a vacation coming soon, I realized this project would make a good car project. I have a renewed sense of purpose and will prepare a few pieces for traveling. Hopefully, I will make enough progress to feel like finishing it next year. It didn't work well for the rainbow scrap challenge so if I do continue working on this I will do it as part of my 5 quilt project.

  3. I can see why this didn't work as a RSC challenge but you can challenge yourself to perhaps complete a section every two months. It's a very pretty quilt, happy stitching!

  4. I have this pattern and every time I get think I'm going to start it something jumps in front of me and grabs my attention. Looks like you have perfect fabric for this pattern. I look forward to watching your progress.

  5. It's always fun to find a project that can travel with you and even better one that you need to finish. Happy stitching. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
