Beyond the Cherry Tree

 Here is block number 24- one more to go!!
I finished one border. I'm going to start prepping the next one.

I haven't been this excited about a quilt since finishing my Blind Man's Fancy. (which is at Linda's waiting to be quilted)

I'm sure it will be a few more months before the Cherry Tree quilt will be together, but it is nice to think about being so close.

I am excited to see your quilt too! Just wonderful...I know you will just love it when it is all done!

Maureen said...

My favorite block! Love the border, too. I'm in the process of prepping a block for applique. Intentional applique, not just to fix my piecing errors! Have you ever used the back basting technique?

Doniene said...

Lovely!! The border is simple but exquisite!!! Such fine work!!

Blessings

Darlene said...

Love this block, Lori. Can't wait to see the entire quilt finished.

Mary Lou Casada said...

Finishing is a WONDERFUL thing -- and being this close is very exciting! It's been quite a while since I've felt that high...time to get crackin'! Loved your Blind Man's Fancy, and your Cherry Tree is very, very tempting. How many buckets can a person have on their bucket list!?!
Blessings!

Looks great! Can't wait to see it done! :o)

I love the orange and yellow fabrics you used in the flowers. They're pretty no matter when but they're perfect for fall! I just finished block 23 and will start this one today, hopefully, but I chose different colors than you. I hope I like mine as much as I like this one!

Looks great! This may be one quilt I'll regret not doing.aube some day. That border is really beautiful.

Jan said...

Those striped leaves are fab; can't wait to see more of this! The quick, fun and scrappy quilts are great, but sometimes the satisfaction of a more involved project is just what is needed.

Rachaeldaisy said...

Isn't is great when you have that excited feeling about a quilt. The border is wonderful and I love your block, such pretty colours.

You should be excited about the quilt. You have made some great fabric choices and the stitching looks good. I like the stripe you used for the leaves in this block.

I love your border! I've had the printed-out pattern sitting on my sewing machine and I even love that ~ so folky. How great that you've been able to keep up with the blocks.

Janet O. said...

Love this block--sunny, fun flowers and a great green stripe for the leaves and stems. What a gorgeous border. I keep more than arms length from applique projects (so I can't mess them up), but I know a great one when I see it. Beautiful job, Lori!
