Grandmothers Choice blocks are complete!

I finished off the applique on the last one on Friday night. I tried something new and decided to do back basting for the applique. It worked pretty well and I could see using it in a couple of other projects.... like the last two applique middles on the Lori Smith Quilt Blocks I worked on last year.
This block is week 47 - Heroine's Crown.

This is a shot of all 49 of my Grandmothers choice blocks. I purchased a tan flowery print for the sashings and hope to play with the letters on my machine sometime in the next couple of weeks and try and get the block names printed onto the sashing. The cornerstones will just be various prints cut from my stash of the fabrics used in the blocks. I think it will need a medium and then darker border around the outside.... hopefully from stash. This sew along has been so much fun and very informative. Although the more I look at the picture it may change...... you just never know!

Now I need to go supervise the kids weeding my garden for replanting. I sent them out ahead so I could finish the dishes and this post. Then it will be grocery shopping and pool time.
