By my calculations, I am about 15 months late with this top. Sue Daley said it took her 6 weeks to do. Show Off! ;-) LOL. So I'm slow!!!!....There were other things to do.....n
o, I AM just slow.
Here are the last stitches in the applique part of Square Dance by Sue.
I have now finished the 4 corner circles, the 9 centre circles and the 4 border strips. I still have to cut them back to size and sew together. To do that, it will be a case of measure, measure, mark, measure again, hold breath, cut and then exhale. One can only hope I don't stuff it up.
I have been giving the quilting some thought. It might end up being done by hand. My only experience with hand quilting is on small projects.
This is the cake I made for our patchwork group this week. It is a Apple and Vanilla Custard Tea Cake. I was rather pleased with how it turned out, considerting I thought I had really mucked it up when putting it together in the tin.
Well, Sunday Stitchers is on again next week, so I had better be off to catch up on 'Gossip' blocks, or I will have a permanent seat in the naughty corner!
Take care,
Cheryl

Well done for finishing the blocks. So much work has gone into that quilt. Great looking cake. I usually mess up with cooing- safer to stay in the craft room. Your cake came out beautifully.
Oh, what a tempting cake, must find the recipe for this one! Lovely blocks finished :-)
