finally the first block..

Way last October I posted about starting a quilt for my niece. I have been doing the Psalms study with Carol Honderich. Each week we read and study a Psalm and also applique or piece a block designed to accompany the thoughts in the Psalm. Previously, I made a similar quilt call the Women of the Bible quilt with this same group leader, Carol.
I have kept up with the study but the blocks...not so much. Finally, I have finished the first block, Psalms 1 "Prosperity". And am prepping for the second, "Rising Sun".

Again for this quilt, I am using Cherrywood Fabrics. I needed to do the Synthrapol treatment on a few pieces and then get them pressed. Elinor here is helping me with the ironing.

  1. Oh my, that looks like a complicated block. Did you hand piece it? Elinor looks like she is working way to hard...lol

  9. Oh, good for you. I joined Carol's group a couple of years ago and got both patterns but have not done any of them yet.
