Mary Mannakee Started

I've cut, turned, placed and basted my first 3 blocks for the Mary Mannakee Quilt. I'm really mixing the reds and greens. I plan on appliquing the blocks on a upcoming trip.

Block 1-A

Block 1-B

    I can tell these are going to be gorgeous even though it is just basted down thus far. I took applique basket blocks on our trip and only did two even though it was a simple block to do. Just too busy with other things.

    These blocks are fabulous! I love the mixture of different red and green fabrics - it gives the blocks more depth.

    The blocks are wonderful Janet. When you preturn all the pieces under, do you use freezer paper underneath?
