The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a blur. Lots of extended family stuff and many people staying with us. Happily there are always a few minutes to sit and stitch in the evenings while visiting. A couple of evenings ago I finished the first block of Radical Rose and Reel. (Pattern from Collector with a Needle)
I debated awhile about the fabric choice for the very center piece. I thought I might do it in navy but in the end I decided to keep it red. I have started prepping block #2 :0)
Happy Quilting!!

Oh, such a gorgeous block! My weakness ~ red & green applique quilts. This makes me want to head into the sewing room and start another. ;-)
Wow. It turned out so well. Glad to see you were able to sneak in a few minutes here and there.
I find your Radical Rose applique block oh so interesting with the mix of prints.
Beautiful start Janet :)
Off to a stunning start Janet.

Such beautiful applique work! I love it!
Just stunningly! Love love love your fabric choices.
Gorgeous project, applique perfection and your reds are yummy! The more applique techniques the better - great to be flexible with each new project!
Fantastic, love it that you've done the centerpiece in red. Blue would have made it to dark and maybe even dull. Backbasting a technic I haven't mastered yet. Have played with it though, but nothing further. Enjoy your nights rest!
Forgot to tell you that I have nominated you for “One Lovely Blog Award”. You can read about it on my blog, but I wanted you to know that you don’t have to do anything. You are already and inspiration!
