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!
Beautiful view...love the black sashing used in your wonderful appliqued quilt...well done!!!

Holy moly your quilt is gorgeous! Well done...and I think the points look fantastic!
Your applique is stunning. Love how the quilt turned out!
beautiful quilt
You did a great job on your quilt. Doesn't that beach look inviting??
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.
Beautiful... and beautiful! Don't you love that our neck of the woods has both beaches AND Cheryl Wall in person?
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!!
That sounds very nice and relaxing. Love the primitive chunky applique and quilt!! I'm sure your applique is lovely!!
Man, I love this sweet topper!! Good for you!!

I love, love, love your topper, Wendy.
Love the nine patch!!!
Have you seen Jan Patek's recent post? She has a wonderful tutorial on applique points, well worth a look.
Wow - LOVE your quilt!! It is just perfect. And that walk on the beach doesn't look bad either!
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!
This is a really good read for me. Must agree that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw.
