First Block of 9!!!!!!!!
#11
I love it!!!! And I know exactly what you mean. I started a needleturn applique project in January or February (VERY new to quilting in general!!!) and have completed 7 of the 25 full sized blocks, plus the border has 20 half sized blocks! I'd never done applique before. But I do love it!

Tisha, your block is just simply beautiful, pat yourself on the back!! If your vine is too close to the seam allowance, I would just unpick the parts that are and pin out of the way, then when you have joined your blocks just allow it to trail onto the adjacent block and stitch down after joining, you can do that on several so it looks less uniform....you know how I hate to conform lol! :D
