Dogwood Blossom Quilt

There is always time after a hot and sweaty gardening workout to sit at my table and try something new. This is the next project with the online class Stitched in Color. The Modern Medallion Quilt. The centre has a reversed applique in a shape of the dogwood blossom.

The finished quilt has a beautiful embroidery, framing the centre of the flower shape. 

( more to come next week)

This is my beginning and I have to hurry up with the next steps - but it's so much fun....

Blanket stitch sounds easy, but not for me. What is the secret to keep always the same distance?

Hanging things " work in progress" on my laundry line gives my time to reflect.
