Another one bites the dust.....

My 23rd Beyond the Cherry Tree block is complete.

It looked like this on the 27th of December.


and since it wasn't a very difficult block, I finished it up late (very late) on December 30.


Here's a couple close ups of the two different colorways for the flowers.



Block #21 is prepped as far as the freezer paper is concerned.  I will pick out my fabrics for each piece and get busy on it. 

Block #25 will be coming soon (patterns are offered up on the 10th of the month)  and then the center of this quilt can be put together.  It has been a long time coming. 

The border patterns are being offered one side a month.  I have three of those patterns, but I won't be working on them until the center is done.  Saying that, I don't feel so far behind on this quilt. 

It's been a long 29 month block of the month.  In the end, this quilt is going to be well worth it though. 

Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

  1. This quilt is definitely going to be worth it. and yes, it's been a long journey. I'm so thankful for the blog, otherwise I might have made a 9 block and called it good on this project.

  2. It is looking so beautiful! Sometimes doing a BOM makes me nervous just because I know another block and another and another will come and I'm committed to it. And then when it's finished I feel so happy that I did it. So it's a project of mixed feelings. Happy new year, friend!!!

  4. Your blocks are so pretty. I admire your applique. I am a buttonhole queen but applique, not so much. :)
