A Green Finish and !! Finished ! ( or not) Friday

 Hope your week has been amazing - I am just not sure how it got to Friday already!!! Last time I looked - it was last Friday!! Oh boy!!

This is my finish for the week!


I am not 100% in love with it, but I am in Like with it . I had these Churns left over from one of the RSC years - and the panel of Eagles - and so this is where I went with it.


I put textury quilting on it, and used a camo back. Green is not one I have a lot of in my stash...


My Apple Trees went nuts!! ( or Apples!!!) this year - this is 1/2 of what I got off of one tree. 


I learned something about picking apples!
You should start on the top branches and work your way down. Because when you start on the bottom branches and work your way up, the tree keeps getting taller and taller and taller as you remove the weight of the apples
🍏🤣🍎🤣🍏🤣🍎

My other trees were not so tall - but this one kept getting taller and taller..... oh boy!!

How did your week go?
What did you work on?

I love your greens, they look so pretty together. The panel works great with the churnies! Have you posted a pic of your apple trees? That's quite a haul. Are they Golden Delicious?

The quilt is a very good marriage of "left overs", and some outdoor enthusiast is going to love it.

Love the green finish--very manly! Especially with the incorporated eagles--nice touch, Alycia!!!

Great work melding the eagles panel, flying geese filler and churn dash blocks together. Love the swirls you chose to use as an E2E pattern. It suggests the flight of the birds and the turning of the churn dash.

Great way to use a panel! Our tree has gobs this year also. Yesterday hubby climbed a very tall ladder and picked a couple dozen from the top, those are the redest ones.

I love your quilt finish and the fact you said about picking apples. How true! LOL

Darling quilt, Alycia and great use of the panel and extra churn dashes. I love that you added the flying geese. Look at all of those yummy apples!!!!

Chantal said...

That's a great outdoor-sy quilt. A nature lover will love this one for sure. Great finish. I don't know how tall apple trees grow in your neck of the wood but in Canada, they are all short and they don't grow any taller as we remove the apples, lol. Enjoy the harvest. ;^)

I think you did a great job of paring the leftover blocks with the panel. It turned out very nice!

I think this quilt will make someone very happy-nice job! The apples will be great for applesauce!

The churn dash quilt turned out nice. Enjoy those apples!

I like the eagles insert with the churn dashes!

That was an interesting way to use a panel and it does work with the churn dashes. It will be loved and a finish is ALWAYS to be LOVED!!

A very fun finish! I never know what to do with panels.

Your quilt is a great way to combine some leftover blocks with a panel! I wouldn't never have thought of it, but it works!
