I’ve just finished appliquéing the multicolored, multi-sized circles to my Fiesta (Block 3) project! Yay! This has been fun, so I can definitely see doing more hand appliqué in the future. Now I just have to decide how I want to quilt this so as to finish it up. Of course, I also have three or four other projects to quilt, so which one will be first is still up for debate. 😉 In the meantime, here is the finished Fiesta (Block 3) top. In the interest of full disclosure, I did the radiating red strips by machine appliqué, but the rest, including the set-in central square, was by hand. In case you haven’t read my previous posts on this subject, Karen Kay Buckley designed it. 🙂
