I finished my third and final appliqué block for my green tea and sweet beans quilt.
The flowers were English Paper Pieced using Mini Hex Den papers and then hand appliquéd.
I didn't really like the appliqué flowers in the green tea and sweet beans pattern book so I decided to make my own and used three different epp shapes:
It is just over a year since I finished the first one and nearly as long since the second one! I knew it would be a long project!
I love seeing these blocks together and it's making me excited about the quilt as a whole! I'm really happy with the background fabrics too.
I still have a few more blocks to hand piece so it might take a little while longer before I get this one done :)
There are some great deals to be had on fabric this weekend...

Just gorgeous! I am here from Crazy Mom Quilts and I am adding you to my feedly! This is a beautiful finish! I really need to sit down and try hand work again. I manage to mess it up every time and I have given up. However, I LOVE the way it looks! Enjoy your Valentine's weekend!
The are great, I love the way you have used so many colours and designs together. I bought this pattern last year and really need to get started on it (especially as the pattern cost me a small fortune). x
These are beautiful, Lucy!
These flowers are amazing. I love the detail of the flowers. You are doing beautiful work.
Really looking forward to seeing your Green Tea & Sweet Beans quilt - I love that you have adapted the pattern - your flowers are just so beautiful Lucy!
Loving this Lucy. I bought the pattern last year and having taken early retirement it is on my list of things 'to do'. Xx
Oh this is going to be such a cheerful quilt!!
Your applique blocks are really beautiful!
oh my! your flowers are fantastic! i have this pattern too, and have been thinking this is the year i start work on it. seeing your work is definitely inspiring me to do it! :)
Really Lovely Lucy. I am much too impatient for this type of sewing but at the same time I really appreciate the work you have put into them. Gorgeous - that quilt will be something special.
I adore those flower blocks!
