Wool Applique

As you know I've been finding unfinished projects and finishing them. This is one of them- not quite complete. I love that wool applique is so portable! I have several "one blocks" made! This is designed by Maggie Bonanomi. In her books so many of the wool applique are unfinished. I know I want to finish this simply, but not sure how. Any ideas?

Here's a little wool applique I finished this weekend. It was designed by Julie Porter and was in Primitive Quilts magazine, but I could not find my issue to finish. So I used a Cheri Payne design to finish the basket. She looks as ready for spring as I am!

 Our weather has truly been amazing and spring like. We've hardly had any snow. Of course, snow and very cold weather is in our forecast for this week!


Have a great week!

    I love the purple lapels. I'm working on finishing up old projects too. But, I wish some of them were small like these.

    Love your wool applique! What is your foundation fabric? I have only done "penny rugs" as inspired by Primitive Quilts magazine. Perhaps add some "tongues" around your vase of flowers as a border? Or a couple of different width borders and quilt it? Oh the ideas abound!

    Your wool applique blocks are so sweet and, yes, very Spring-y! Love the face on your bunny. You did a good job embroidering it. Have a great week and Happy President's Day!

    Your bunny block is adorable! I love wool applique but haven't done any in a long time.

    Cute, cute, cute! I like the way you finished the bunny piece. Maybe do the same for the one you are working on? I have MB's books but have yet to indulge in one of her wool applique projects :)

    Surely that empty stem needs something but with so little room I'd go with a heart shape like the others, but in blue, then call it a finished block.

    I've drooled over your Americana Strings forever. I love the size, colors, and borders. Could you please tell me the size of the star blocks and also the overall size of the quilt? Do you have a pattern I could purchase. I follow all your posts and love all that you do. Thanks.......Susie in South Carolina.
