Applique begins...

I'm working on the center medallion of the Jingle Block of the Month applique and pieced quilt. The medallion is a seperate pattern, called Mrs. Kringle. 

  The surrounding blocks are free downloads each month, and as you can see from the printout above...the first pieced and first applique patterns are already out. So, I have to get this center completed...before I get started on the individual blocks.

  I'm having a good time and really enjoying the relaxation of applique work. It is almost as much fun as embroidery.
