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!!
What did you work on?
Link up!!!

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?
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is a very good marriage of "left overs", and some outdoor enthusiast is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the green finish--very manly! Especially with the incorporated eagles--nice touch, Alycia!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt finish and the fact you said about picking apples. How true! LOL
ReplyDeleteDarling 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!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat'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. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job of paring the leftover blocks with the panel. It turned out very nice!
ReplyDeleteI think this quilt will make someone very happy-nice job! The apples will be great for applesauce!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with green and churn dash! Love the quilting. Nice apple haul!
ReplyDeleteThe churn dash quilt turned out nice. Enjoy those apples!
ReplyDeleteI like the eagles insert with the churn dashes!
ReplyDeleteThat 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!!
ReplyDeleteA very fun finish! I never know what to do with panels.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is a great way to combine some leftover blocks with a panel! I wouldn't never have thought of it, but it works!
