I started this quilt a little while ago after a trip to the Quilt Shoppe in Summersville, WV. They don't have a website, but if you are ever in that area, I highly recommend stopping in. The owner is Vickie Fleer and they have a wonderful selection of fabric.
But I digress ...
I bought this book on that trip:
Vickie had the Spiced Apple Quilt in her shop and I just had to make one. I've posted pictures of the work in progress on Facebook, but it's hard to keep a record there so I want to repost every thing here.
I started cutting strips and of course I had expert help, our two Bengals, Khaleesi and Keira:
It was in the middle of this that I discovered that Keira was a fetcher. Yes, just like a dog. See the collar in the picture below? That's her toy of choice to bring back and forth for you to throw. It does make it difficult to use a rotary cutter with something constantly being dropped in your way, but it's so worth it!!
I finally got all the strips cut though:
Next I had to sew all those strips together:
Then ... those blocks got sewn in to bigger blocks.
I've finally gotten all of those sewn together and started laying out the quilt:
So this weekend I hope to get this one sewn together and then I can show some of the other projects I've gotten myself into!
