Yes, you are all thinking applique, but I'm thinking addicted. I just can't seem to stop the Beyond the Cherry Tree train. Since I'm so close to getting the 25 center blocks, I am obsessed with this piece. Here is block #19 in the pattern, #21 for me. I added a bit to the flowers, they just seemed to big without the flower centers on them.And if that isn't occupying all my spare time, here is my 4 block basted. I've marked a feather wreath in the center, I'll outline all the applique and do 1/2 feathers along the sides and then cross hatch of some sort to fill the background. This piece is 48 x 48. The pattern is from McCalls Quilting, their 100ths issue from Jan/Feb 2010.
What's grabbed your focus in your sewing room?

Oh, I love what you did to the flowers on your BTCT block! The whole block is beatiful. Can't wait to see all your blocks together. Your four-block quilt is gorgeous, too. You are one busy lady.
As for me....I have been working on BTCT quilt. The center is sewn and I am now working on getting my "scrappy" borders together so I a ready to applique them.
Thanks for sharing.
Red and green for me this week!!
I am working on a "Save the Whales" quilt. I am tired of sewing filler squares together.
I love your applique!
Love your current block. And your applique quilt you are about to start quilting is stunning!! Thaks for sharing the photos.
Wow, your applique obsession is just stunning! I love what you did to the BTCT block - it adds so much to the flowers! And your 4-block applique is so classic - your feathers will be the frosting on the cake. I do remember that pattern in the McCall's magazine.
I'm trying to get a bunch of Halloween Trip Around the World blocks done in the next week or so. Trying to get it beyond the "just putzing" stage. I can do about 2 a day.
That BTCT block is a beauty. Very pretty!
You always do such a nice job of quilting--I'm sure your 4 block quilt will be no exception.
Sharon - your vase fabric looks like a piece of cloisonne - just gorgeous! The whole block turned out so well.
As for the 4 block appliqued quilt - spectacular!!
I'm with you on the applique obsession and I love your vase. The red and green is spectacular. Sadly, I haven't been in my sewing room for a month because I have all my applique at hand ready for a stitching session.
