Vicksburg BOM

I finished the little cherry wreath of the Vicksburg BOM. I took a bit of liberty making my version. It seems like I am cutting my pieces just a tad too large, then I have a hard time getting everything to fit. I eliminated about 1/2 of the leaves on this block and I think it will be OK with the rest of the blocks.

I got my Wool Crazy book in the mail today!! I can't wait to get a chance to sit down and look through it.
It's a beautiful sunny day here for a change. It is really refreshing!!
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. Football tomorrow!!

  3. I think your BOM block looks great. I think leaving off some of the leaves was a good idea, wish I had.
    Enjoy your Sunday.

  7. It looks great so far and even though you took out some leaves, I think it's perfect.

  8. My favorite is the eagle with the stripes. He, and the other blocks, look great.

  9. You're making great progress on your blocks. I have no confidence in my applique work, so I do very little of it. I just thoroughly enjoy seeing what others do.
    Your work is lovely.
