Marva Gurley sent me the picture of her Simply Delicious wall hanging that she just finished days ago. She reduced the 14″ blocks to 7″… those are 7″ fruit blocks surrounded by 1″ sashing squares!
Here’s what Marva says: “My finished piece measures 33.5″ by 42”. The project took nearly 5.5 months. I am so happy with my new “baby”, as I have admired this pattern for a long time. My methods are hand applique and hand quilting. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful pattern.”
I’m impressed — way to go, Marva! Thank you for sharing your lovely quilt.

The towels put me back in time when mom had me embroider day of the week towels in redwork. I also like the fruit applique quilt.

Lovely quilt and an ah-ha moment. I had never considered shrinking an applique quilt pattern. But I will now.

Lovely! I’ve obsessively made fruit and vegetable quilts over the year (never figured out why, but it nmakes great use of very small scraps!)
