Jo Morton Blocks

These are the next two in the series of Jo Morton blocks for my little 1800s Reproduction 
Quilt. They are such fun to do - quick and quite easy. Mind you I did have them all 
prepared and ready to place in the right place on the background and 
then stitch in place.


But that is the end of my pre-prepared ones, so it is back to the ironing board
to prep some more.

I have finally decided on the format to set them in. I am having a day off on Friday
so hope to try the idea out to see if it will work, so you may get a post then!

My next Yoko Saito block is also on the ironing board awaiting preparation - oh dear 
a bit of a back-log there and no hand work to do tonight.

  2. They are so very nice. I find it easier to spend a bit of time and prepare all my applique pieces then I can just sit and applique. The other day I basted about 14 leaves onto one block - even basted the leaf shape first, took quite a bit of time, but I think I am finding it easier placing them in the correct position on the background piece. Keep stitching away Robyn. Enjoy your day off on Friday

  3. More progress - every stitch is a bit closer to that satisfied smile of another finished project. I do hope you get some girlfriend time onyour day off Robyn
