Christmas Quilt-a-long: September Evening

What a day today was!  I think I'm completely tuckered out.  I fused all 5 blocks I had to do and then I appliqued them all down.  For good measure I tucked the threads from the applique work to the back side of the quilt and this leaves me just one block shy of having all of the blocks I need for the quilt.  Now if I could just remember how I decided to place these blocks...

These turtle reverse raw edge applique blocks will square up to 20.5" when that last block is cut and finished, so they are really good size.  Who knows maybe my far fetched thought yesterday of wouldn't it be nice if it was done by the end of the quilt-a-long might actually work out.  In the picture I opened up and spread out the five I did today.  There are four folded up in the lower right hand corner, taking me up to nine completed.  Hope everyone had a good day sewing.

Looks like your "far-fetched" thought of finishing this quilt too is really going to happen. I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished too.

Love your turtles. I have not tried the reverse applique. I can't wait to see this all together.

I remember when you started your turtles earlier in the year - these look superb! Such fun!
