Apples of Joy - a quilt

It really does take me years to get around to some of these things.

I made up this lovely quilt from a charm pack way back in {cough} Dec, 2011

Little Apples - quilt top

Seriously!

~~~

I used the  tutorial found over with Elizabeth at Don't Call me Betsy 

This top took me a whole few hours from start to finish.  Then it waited...

and waited...

...

and waited.

But it wasn't until earlier this month when I posted about my FAL projects and went ah-ha.  

Of course I didn't use this ON my FAL project lists.
Pfft whatever!  

It only took me, at most, 1 hour to free motion quilt the meander pattern.  I just have to do more to be comfortable.

I brought this beauty along during my girls weekend to the Washington (state) coast trip.

A finish!  TaDa!

Little apples quilt done and done. It's been instantly being claimed by a gf for her littlest one ♡♡♡♡♡

And it was instantly snatched up by my bff.  Her youngest daughter is waiting for her knitted blanket so she totally needed this to keep her at bay.  Totally! 

It's a fun finish.

Now if I'll just baste some quilts, I'll just be cranking these puppies out.

  3. I love this line, it's so cute. I had a jelly roll of it that I started making into something, but it's stashed away somewhere and I hate looking at it because it's one of the first things I ever made so the seams are terrible lol! I feel bad because I really do adore the line. I'm thinking of one day pulling apart the rows back to individual blocks so I can at least make some potholders or something else useful out of them! DOn't want it to go to waste!
