I have been working on a quilt for Smokey's mom for over a year now. He did a lot of the cutting for me and a lot of the removing of paper from the back of 5 of the paper pieced blocks.
I have removed the paper from 1+ blocks so far and totally appreciate his efforts!
All 9 blocks are pieced and each is from a different one of Jim's shirts. The pattern is from a book I love, called Scraps of Time: Quilting with Treasured Fabrics.
Besides removing paper I am starting on stem appliques. Each block gets 3 stems, one for each flower, and two leaves.
Then I get to assemble them on point with setting squares, add borders, and applique more stems and leaves. I'm excited about it and the applique work is easy to do while watching netflix, so I get some done every night. More updates as I get the stems and leaves on so you can watch it grow!
