This
mouth-watering lap quilt was finished in early January. I used the
Accuquilt apple core die that I got for Christmas. Cutting was a
breeze...I can't imagine how long it would have taken me to cut out
this shape by hand! Notches helped make sewing together the pieces
much easier. I did have to slow down a bit to maintain accurate
seams. No racing at full speed on this one.
Red
Delicious finished out at 43” square. Red prints and a
cream/black modern geometric are alternated for the center. Black fabric with gardening tools is used for inside border, backing,
and binding. Outside border is a red burlap print. I quilted a straight stitch along the curves for the interior, and used a decorative
serpentine stitch with black/grey/cream variegated thread to accent
the red border.
This
beauty should remind me to eat apples more often. It's said they
keep the doctor away, you know.
An
apple a day keeps anyone away
if
you throw it hard enough

Why
not upset the apple cart?
If
you don’t the apples will rot anyway
