LIBERTY GARDEN QUILT PROJECT REVISITED

It's been a little while since I worked on this project. It was another one of those hidden on the floor projects that I came across while putting fabrics away. There was still quite a bit of machine stitching left to do on the blocks so I worked on that the last couple days. I have one bird block that needs stitching done on and should get done today. Then there is the big hole there in the middle. I think I have the section almost ready to go in there. The pattern for this quilt is called "Liberty Garden" and it is a Jan Patek pattern.
The quilt still needs borders and they are also applique. I have all the applique parts ready to fuse. Just need to cut out the borders. Then lots more machine stitching to do. This is meant to be a fun project for me, thus the machine applique instead of hand applique. I have plenty of hand applique on other projects awaiting me.

The Liberty Garden book is a good one for my taste in quilts. There isn't one quilt in the book that I don't like.

Last night we stayed up to watch the shuttle launch. Living on the Space Coast of Florida makes viewing it from home fairly easy. It went up just before midnight and we watched it while standing in the pool. There was cloud cover so it was not the clearest launch we have ever seen. It lit up the sky like it was dawn. Very pretty.

Well, I had best get busy in the sewing room and see if I can get the main body of this quilt all put together today. I'm glad that you stopped by for a visit.
