Appleicious, Quilty Fun!

post signature
I've had these fabrics chosen, and the squares for the apples cut, sitting on a design board on my floor in the corner, for 2 l/2 years!!!
I have been so busy sewing blessing gowns and baby quilts and birthday and Christmas gifts for grandchildren, traveling to visit family, and just plain life!
I've had some time lately and have been finishing my WIPs.
I picked this project up from the floor and it literally had a layer or two of dust on it, lol!
I've loved this quilt since I first saw it, I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to it.



It really didn't take long to sew up these little apples.
It's funny how your fabric taste changes over the years. 
I may not have chosen some of these prints or colors if I was making the quilt today.
I probably would have added some Cotton and Steel!
I still like them though....
My favorite apples are Honeycrisp and Pink Lady. 
I also love Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith for salads.
That's why I included a lot of pinks, yellows and greens :)


Ta Da!!!
My own little appleicious quilt!
I'm going to machine quilt it myself, but probably won't be able to  until the new year.


I love Moda dots, with the white background and the colored dots.
This background is in gray dots, and surprisingly, it didn't take as long as I thought it would, to sew the borders together.



I'm so happy with my little quilt!
Lots of Lori Holt's prints, some of Pam Kitty's, and other random prints that I love.
Do you notice the little blue leaf?
It's my red and aqua apple :)

  1. Oh - love this! This is another one that I want to make soon - actually ever since the book came out :)! Lori's new Planner will be great to list all my 'Need to make' quilts. You did such a beautiful job on this quilt - and especially that border!!
