If you have somehow missed my many posts on this quilt, this is Kim McLean's Lollypop quilt pattern and is done primarily with Kaffe Fassett fabrics. My friend, mom22smartchix, finished her top as of this past weekend and it is fabulous. We started together and chose different paths in our approach to applique and I hope mine is half as wonderful as hers when I get it done. We've learned from each other - we've commiserated with each other - we have conspired with each other - but we never competed with each other. And I could look at hers for hours. She's a little wacky and is already planning her second one but that's another post for another day!
I hope you are working on a project that you love and are inspired to finish (eventually!).

Would you be happy with a smaller version of the quilt and then have more time to do the other things you want/need to do? I tend to like to try a lot of things but they don't all turn into big quilts. Your blocks are beautiful by the way.
Lovely block, but what a lot of work; I'm not surprised that some days you can't settle to it. Take your time with it; if you don't make November, so what? There's always December, or next November! Whenever you finish it's going to be WONDERFUL!
I love Kim McLean's designs, but have not started one yet. Yours is beautiful and will be a masterpiece when you are finished. It's good to have a goal for you completion date. You can do it!
Finishing is so over rated!! LOL Love this quilt... and have started it.. but that was 2 years ago, and I haven't gotten very far. But every time I see it.. I swoon! Yours is fabulous!!!
Jan, your blocks are lovely! Like your blog title says....we quilt for fun.
I can't even begin to imagine the patience that goes into such beautiful needle-turn applique...Your blocks are beautiful and I look forward to seeing the finished quilt one day!
very pretty blocks....what a gorgeous collection!
That's beautiful. I love the colours you've used.
Whew!! Stitch on!!
This is beautiful. I have a quilt I'm working on for my son. I think I've been working on it for at least a year now. I hope I can finish it before he's ready to leave home. :)
It's always so nice to make a quilt 'along' with other people, it's a real motivation and support. You take as long as you need to get it done, it's already looking fabulous! Sometimes when you're as close to it as you are, you can't see just how great it looks.
It looks great ;)
Your applique blocks are quite lovely, Jan. Quilt tops are like fine wine and cheese, sometimes best aged?? Or that what I tell myself with some of my projects. Thanks for linking up to this week's TGIFF.
I can't even imagine the work that must go into these blocks. They're lovely! This will make for an awesome top, I'm sure.
I just finished appliqueing 130 snowflakes onto a quilt top, so I appreciate what you are doing here more than you will ever know. This is going to be truly stunning!
Oh My!! Looks like a ton of work. Looks so very fun and so very happy. I love it.
I can see why you love it! It is a wonderful design and the fabrics are gorgeous.

Visiting from Sew Can Do Link Party. I love to see what other quilters do. Thank you for sharing your lovely block.
It is truly beautiful and my gosh......a lot of work but it will be worth it when you are done!
Wow is this ever a fun looking project to work on. I am not a big fan of KF fabrics, but in little doses as you have used the fabrics I'm smiling. Sandi
