Homeward Bound Quilt Month 4 Done

I have finished appliqueing the large flowers that were part of the month 4 installment for this BOM. 

It was not an easy thing to do. The petals do not fit well in the space allocated to them. 

It took some rearranging and in the end, I feel that I just made it fit because I was tired of adjusting them. It was like to insert a square peg in a very round opening.

This is my leisure time, I don't need to stress over it. I hope the next parts will fit better.

Homeward Bound Quilt - March 2023

I have completed the 4 blocks for the Homeward Bound Quilt that is a BOM (Block of the month), at The Quilt Show website for the  year of 2023.

I am using my own fabrics and colors.

One leaf on the small stem is only pinned in place until the flowers that will be added to the long stem on the middle block are in place.

The pattern is free to members of The Quilt Show site until December. A new part of the quilt is released every month.

Another old but good

This was made with blocks exchanged from a previous Bee. The block is from the book "Nickel Quilts".
It always brings back great memories of great friends.

It won a 3rd place at the 2006 show by the guild. Quilted by F Blouin.
