Slow stitchin' here!!
I finished these blocks I think in January...and they have been sitting there looking at me, and I at them. I had no idea how to set them together. I tried to set them together with my 6 inch nine patch blocks...nope! It made the whole quilt dark. Then...I tried alternate pieced blocks...nope!! Lost the flowers in that design. Then 1/2 square triangles...and that is all I saw!! So...I took my time and just asked my self...what do you want the quilt to look like?? Airy!! and light...with no heavy piecing. So...I designed this border and corner stone setting.
Lots of prep time here!! And lots of applique...but I am liking it!! Lord of the rings, in the land of the Elves...kind of viney like that!!
So....what are you working on? And are you going to do the Primitive Gatherings block of the week for summer?? Linda O. and I have been discussing it back and forth...and I think I am going for it!!!
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, and find time for slow stitching!!

Love love love your sashing choice. I did sign up for PG's SBOW. It's my first time. I'll never keep up, but it will be fun to get them every week and at least start on some of them!
Delightful! I think the appliqued sashing complements the flower blocks perfectly!
it's just gorgeous! Bravo for keeping up until you found just the right thing. You have a good eye, Julie.
That's the perfect sashing for these blocks. You are so creative and inspiring and original! Love it.
oh that setting looks wonderful..........
That's going to be a pretty quilt!
Oh, Julie, it's stunning!! You should stand up and take a bow!! Can't wait to see it completed.
The vines are a perfect solution and the cornerstones add that punch of color that carries your eye across the quilt as the flowers catch your eye, great solution! Applique is so addictive, I am sure you are enjoying it.
Gosh, I LOVE this design for the sashings, Julie! The quilt is going to be amazing. :D
That sashing is perfect for those blocks! It is gorgeous!
Oh my goodness that is really the perfect sashing and setting! It's gonna be a beauty! I've lost my quilting mojo could you send me some you seem to have plenty :0)
Happy Sewing, love what you've got going there.
Very beautiful, Julie! You've achieved the light and airy feeling you wanted. Love it!
This sashing is just perfect for these blocks.
Absolutely lovely!!! You are so creative! I would never have thought of appliqueing vines for a sashing. It is just perfect! It is funny how we know what we don't want, but aren't sure what we want. lol
Love, L*O*V*E.......so very pretty! The eye candy is always pleasing here!
Oh wow! I love those sashings!

Perfect!!
That sashing is just perfect for those blocks! You do amazing work!
You scored big time with this design, Julie! Before I read what you were trying to achieve I was thinking how airy and pretty the effect is! Excellent job!!
It looks absolutely wonderful. I'm sure a pieced border looked good but just not what you wanted for this quilt.
This is just gorgeous !
Perfect! Love your style...
Perfect! Love your style...
Absolutely perfect!!! I LOVE it!!! May I copy the photo for my files for future reference? I have some flower applique patterns that I plan to do someday and I would like to set it similar to this!!
Have a blessed week and may the Lord Richly bless the work of your hands!
Lovely setting!!!!
Oh Julie - this is just absolutely idyllic - love the applique vines and those snowball cornerstones - absolutely sublime
Your applique border solution is just perfect! Kudos to you for thinking of it!
Beautiful setting! I don't know about that block of the week. Tell me more!

Wow! How beautiful. The sashing is perfect. Is this a pattern or your own design?
Oh, Julie, your setting is PERFECT! Good job working till you got exactly what you wanted. Did you make the original version with the 9P too?
