I got tired of sitting at the sewing machine and switched back to the applique. I will be returning to the borders for my star quilt very soon. With my hesitation at continuing with the huge applique block and so many bloggy friends encouraging me, I thought it was a good time to work on finishing the block I had started. Here is the result.
And I have started a second block. It doesn't look like much yet.
Nothing else to report. Have a great day and stop back soon.

Beautiful, Karen, I love the colors.
Oh boy do I hear you about time to step away from the machine and just sit and enjoy some hand work. I believe this is what happened the other day with the wool project. I'd been at machines for days and needed to change it up a bit. But...must admit I'm looking forward to seeing your borders on...that is one GORGEOUS quilt!!
Your block is great. I think I am going to need to step away from the machine soon too. I haven't done any handwork in about a week now. It's time. LOL Have a great day and enjoy your handwork. Winona
O, Karen, this is really beautiful! A wonderful block... and the second one is already gorgeous! I love the fabrics you use. And your applique is so precise... You are doing great!
Have a nice day, kindest regards,

Awesome Karen.. I know how much work goes into these blocks since I am working on them off and on as well..your block is gorgeous and so is the starter one...it is nice to be able to have a portable project isn`t it
Both blocks are so pretty!!! I love to switch things up and not be at the machine for days on end:)
Great looking block Karen. Are you a little happier working on the second one?

This one is going to be a stunner as well, Karen.
I too can only sit at a machine for so long and then my handwork beckons me.
Very pretty colors! I am always jumping between a few projects~ I don't get bored that way! LOL
Karen, these blocks are WONDERFUL!

Hi Karen! So glad you continued and finished your first block! it looks great, such little stitches OMG!! Happy sewing on the next and those borders will wait hihi!! Hugs, Daniëlle
Just love the colors on this one. I'm one of those bloggers cheering you on with this one!
Oh gosh I love clicking on these photos and seeing the fabrics up close! That gingham in the first block is so neat. The way it works with the eye. Superlative! That entire block is perfect so I find myself really looking forward to watching the process and the "coming to life" of this next block. How fun!
PS: I was daydreaming about your Star Quilt yesterday. Just musing about how lovely it was and all that... :) *karendianne.
