This block is part of the applique border. It has two applique flower designs and a lot of stitches. You need fabrics 1, 3, 4, backing fabric, stabilizer, water soluble thread, and all coordinating thread. If you don't want to use stabilizer for fabric 3 that's your choice. I've been doing it just so that I don't get any puckering since it is heavily stitched. I figure better safe than sorry.
I've gotten 1/2 of the outer border blocks done and haven't worked on the inner border blocks at all. So I've still got a lot of blocks to go. At our last meeting, we decided on a trunk show late January as a show and tell. Assuming I get this thing done by then, I'll drag it in. I still can't really picture what its going to look like even though I'm doing all the blocks so I'm excited to see how it looks when all the blocks are together. I know it'll be really pretty and it'll be fun to see everyone else's quilt too. Until then, I've got to do another 22 outer border blocks, 36 inner border blocks and roughly 16 of the applique blocks. After all that, I still have to make all the sashing for the back and then sew it all together.
My MIL and her sisters get together about every 6 months and sew for a week. Two live out of state and they take turns driving to each other's houses. So when I was there visiting, I started labeling the blocks with their location (Ex. Row C4) and trimmed them all. I laid out the center medallion so the ladies could see at least part of the quilt and took some pictures with my phone.
Here's the my video for block A4H7.
