Last weekend I felt like appliquéing. It's been a long time ago since I have appliquéd.
I just love the progress.
This was my idea to start with. And what do you think?
I like the basket but somehow it wasn't 'perfect' to me.
Too light? Too much?
So I tried another fabric. A print.
hmm no. I like the check more.
Another check. I thought this is better. But is it still too much?
A smaller check...
A more masculine check...
In auditioned several fabrics to choose this one :-)
Now I have to think about the next step to turn this block into a quilt.
It was good to appliqué again. It always feels like 'coming home' to me.

I like your choice...perfect. Your applique is beautiful!
Great to see a blogpost again. Lovely block & I love the blues (ha, ha, in more way than one)! I like that you showed us the fabrics you auditioned... I might have gone for the red check, given the same choice. Can't wait to see what you'll do next to make this into a quilt, what is the quilt you pinned the block to?
I like the fabric that you chose. Looks great!
What happy flowers - I love it! The basket fabric works very well. I can't wait to see what this turns into!
This s a lovely block Lucy and I am looking forward to seeing how you turn these blocks into a quilt.
Such a lovely design and cheerful fabrics. I like the simple check you chose for the basket
Hoi, deze is mooi. De rode was misschien iets te hard.De grote ruit vond ik ook leuk. Weet je wat ik las en bestudeerde vandaag:Gwen's boek: classic four block applique quilts. Toevallig toch? Misschien het weer of het voorjaar met al die tulpen die te koop zijn. Het boek is super goed en doet me denken aan de fijne herinneringen die ik heb aan de lessen die je gaf.

Such a lovely applique creation, Lucy! Hope you're doing well and perhaps enjoying some early spring :)
The block is lovely - and very interesting to see the different choices for the vase. I like your final solution!
I love your block and choice of basket fabric. It's nice to slow down with some applique every now and then.
Looks wonderful!
