Fun with Appliqué


I did a little hand applique this past weekend and finished my Cheryl Wall quilt. I must say I didn't enjoy the pointy stars, I just struggled with getting those points. It's done and I'm happy with how it turned out.
The remainder of the weekend was spending time here. We did a long walk on the beach at low tide and were surprised on the way back how fast the tide comes in. It was a very relaxing weekend filled with sun, sand a little stitching.

Happy Quilting!

    Your quilt looks wonderful! And I'd give about anything for a walk on the beach! It looks like a lovely place to visit! :0)

    Love this quilt, Wendy. Getting the points on those stars can be a problem, but yours look great. The black background sure makes everything pop. My son and his family are coming over from Vancouver and a day at the beach is on the to-do list.

    That beach walk really appeals to someone in the land locked midwest... how relaxing! LOVE your quilt! Is the background black or a dark blue? Either way, it makes the blocks and applique just pop!

    I don't like doing the star points either, but I think I improve a little very time I do one. Sounds like a lovely weekend.

    Oh my gosh - what a wonderful quilt! I haven't tried much applique yet, but I'm dabbling. Walking on the beach is my most favorite thing on earth!!

    Lovely quilt! I'm with you on stars, no matter how many I do, it's just not my favourite part! Sounds like you had a lovely time. I miss the ocean. It's been a long time for me! Thanks for sharing!
