The cherry cake quilt is getting closer to completion. Its a really cheerful quilt to work on during dreary winter days. Only four more applique blocks to finish and then I can sew it together and think about border choices. What to do, what to do: fancy appliqued border with lots more berries, vines and baskets or just call it a day and add a plain border fabric? Time will tell as soon as its finished!
Closeup of the latest finished block - its called Spreading Leaves from the Inspired by Tradition book by Kay Mackenzie. This book is really great as it comes with a CD so you have options for 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch blocks all ready to print out. Even though this is a six-inch finished block, I used the pattern for the eight-inch block as I wanted the applique to fill in more space. I plan to use this book to make at least two more blocks as there are a couple more cherry blocks included. Really appreciate you stopping by for a visit, and always enjoy your comments and feedback!

Beautiful quilt.
I love all the applique you've done.
I like the Lancaster look with fabric borders, but I'm sure whatever you select will be wonderful.
It is looking so good! I can hardly stand the idea of slapping a plain border on it:)
This quilt makes me smile every time I see it! I love the plaid background you're using. Why don't I ever think of something like that?
I love your newest block - the dark green leaves add balance together with the other blocks. It's such a pretty group of blocks - I agree with Lori about the border :0)
Maybe some half square triangles for the border. I am wondering if an applique border would look busy. Guess you will know when you give it a try.
Your cheery cake blocks look so beautiful together.
Your blocks are wonderful. I had my bag of blocks out the other day, trying to get some Inspiration. All l could think about was your quilt and these lovely appliqué blocks. Can you remember what your background fabric is that you are using? It goes perfectly with the blocks.
What a delicious quilt this is going to be!
This is just beautiful!! I loved it when you began and now I love it even more. Gorgeous fabrics and applique blocks. Can't wait to see the next addition!
