Wow! It's Applique Tuesday

I'm so befuddled.  It wasn't until seeing Esther's WOW that I realized it was Tuesday again, and time to post about some applique in my life.  I actually finished LE Part 3:

If this doesn't look different to you - I added the heart circles and the oak leaf units on the sides. Now I'm adding a vase of flowers in the left bottom corner and for the live of me, can't decide what to use for the vase.  Here are 6 I am considering:

  The two bright ones look both orangy but the upper right one is really red.  Now which of these would you pick for a vase of flowers given the colors you see in the center I am working on?  I really want to know.  And if you have eye candy to share - that would be so great!  Linky below.

It's Design Wall Monday Again

 

These blocks are still on my design wall.  Not sure I'm going to sew them together this way, but I do need to have the top done by the 19th.  And yes, I'd like to get that ducky quilt quilted, too,  this week.  However DGS#3 and DS#2 are coming Thursday for a quick visit from CO, so I may not get either of  these two items done.  Family comes first!

Stash N Video 11/10/13

Had to share a video with you:  "Catalina's Paradise" Applique Quilt "

by Jane Newble .  Jane says: For this quilt I used a mixture of the Civil War Bride patterns by Corliss Searcey, a picture of the original 1864 "Bird of Paradise" quilt, and my own drawings, some from pictures of other old Baltimore quilts, and some from photos. It is hand made with needle turn applique, and echo quilting.  Altogether it took just over a year to make.

 

As to the stash report - used a few bits for my LE BOM, and also a yard for the back of the pieced flannel charity quilt I shared yesterday.  So about 1.25 yards for last week. I'm shocked I have anything since I was sick all last week.  So my numbers are:

in 0.0 yds.; out 1.25 yds.

Stash in YTD: in 9.0 yds., out YTD 108.33 yds.

Donated YTD: 51.26 yds

Net for 2013: out 99.33 yds

 

And since I like to share a photo with you, here's the two DGSs when they came trick-or-treating:
