Laurel Cherry Block

Just finished the laurel cherry block last night. 
















This is the halfway point to finishing this quilt!  Many, many thanks to my virtual quilting friends in the US, Australia, Canada and Europe for contributing the Lancaster cake stand blocks for this quilt.  I am really enjoying making the applique blocks so much.  So excited that a new quilt store is opening close to home today, so of course, I have to run over and check it out.  Fingers crossed they will have a selection of reproduction and prim fabrics!  Hope you all have a lovely weekend and time to get a few stitches in.

I can't wait to see the finished quilt because it's beautiful half way!

Let me know about the new shop. It's always exciting when they open. One of the nice shops near me is now only open 3 days a week and the children's section - just one. With local grandchildren and another on the way, that's the type of news that makes JoAnn's look better and better. I'm anxious to hear about your new one!

Very pretty - and so delicate with the small 6" cake stands.
