First Block Fused

Have just finished cutting out enough stems and leaves and flowers and centers for sixteen little blocks that will make up a tabletopper.  My early days devoted to cutting out paper dolls have prepared me for the later years in my life when I fell in love with quilting and applique.  No centers show here, but each little flower will have one.  Now there will be a lot of time spent with the iron and ironing board fusing the blocks.  Then will come the fun of buttonhole stitching around all the pieces at my machine followed by the machine quilting.  So far I am thinking this will be very pretty on my dining room table.  (Click to enlarge)
