Simple Pleasures Progress

It's been a while ... but here's a little look at where my Simple Pleasures quilt is heading. The squares below are to make the 4-patch blocks. I'm using Cottage Charm fabrics by Heather Mulder-Peterson ...  (not sure if the browns will make it into the quilt) ... and doing a scrappier version than the original.


The stitchery squares will all be appliqued onto spotty fabrics .. just because I like spots ...


and I plan to use the cream fabric to frame the 4-patches.


My stitchery squares are bigger than the original pattern (yes, I messed up the size when appliqueing them!!) but I think they will still work. I am enjoying the applique part and getting much quicker the more I do.


I have finished my Cottage Blessings bag so will be back soon to share some pictures.
