Spring Batik Appliqued Flowers
I was moving things around in my quilt studio the other day and came across a box.....a HUGE BOX of quilt blocks. There are all kinds of sizes, colors and fabrics. Most of them I had forgotten about and when I saw these four blocks I remembered that I had planned on writing up a pattern called Spring Batik Appliqued Flowers for this and.......for some reason I moved on to something new and forgot all about it. Can you guess how old these blocks are???
I think this is when I knew that batiks were my favorite fabric for free motion applique.
The applique was all done on my vintage Singer sewing machine using a darning foot and I used embroidery thread. Why did I never finish this quilt project? Do you have projects like this that you haven't finished?
I stuck the blocks up on my design wall and kind of liked this design.
Then I decided to add a narrow sash of a dark green batik. I'll also use this same batik for my binding. I am going to work on this and hopefully some time this month I''ll share it with you.
Were you wondering how old the blocks were??? Well, I found my blog post for the Flowers with Dots and a Lil' Twister wall hanging from......2012! It is definitely time to finish this!

This is the kit that I bought last week, I hope to start working on it this soon. It came with over 6 yards of fabric and used the Boundless Blenders Ombre collection. The Craftsy Quilt Kits go fast!
The quilt kit is called Color Block.

Ooh I really like those blocks and especially love the little one on the hanger near the river. Very nice. I think those were before my time as I've never seen them before.
Connie
Now that surprises me Vicki! I thought you were one of my first followers LOL! Thanks!

Sometimes old is new again. I really like your setting and end result as well as the original wall hanging.
Connie
Thanks Miriam, some things never seem to go out of style 🙂

I am always shocked at the amount of time when I look back at my UFOs too. I loved the flowers "back then" and still like them now!
Connie
Thanks Mary, I think many of us have more UFOs than we realize!
