Peony Quilt - UFO


I just started this quilt.  I needed handwork.  It is a Laundry Basket quilt pattern called Prairie Peonies.  It combines piece work with applique.  I'm experimenting with different applique methods.  This is going to take a while.  I'm deviating from the pattern by using some stronger colors and reversing some of the blocks.  The fabrics are batik and prints.  I chose a darker background than I normally use.   I've already pieced all 25 blocks, but only two are appliqued.  23 to go!  The pattern has sashing, and little four-square corner stones.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks when I'm finished!
