First off are the two snails trail blocks in red and maroon. Hard to find a light shade so I went with a white print. Here are all the blocks so far.
As for my little apple project this month....... Here she is!
I was planning a nine patch outer border but I really wanted to get this to a top stage so I pulled this maroon from the closet and finished the top. This measures 36x36. I plan to hand quilt this one - outline quilting on the apples and some apples in the outer border, little leaves in the inner brown. Not sure if I'll do a diagonal in the nine patch or another apple outline there. I guess I'll decide that once I get there.
Head on over to SoScrappy on Saturday and see all the wonderful red projects people are working on. I'm also hooking up with Kathy's Quilts on Sunday for Slow Stitching Sunday. I hope to have this one pinned and ready for a little hand work on Sunday evening.

Deb, just love how your snails trail blocks are looking together! Is the cute red apple quilt for someone in particular?
Your blocks are really looking great. Awesome apples.
That Snail Trail block looks fabulous -- it may be one I have to add to my "someday" list!
The apple quilt looks wonderful! Such a great idea for fall!
Your apple quilt is wonderful! Hand quilting will be just the thing for it. Your snails trails are coming together nicely too.
Oh my. I LOVE your apples! and your snails! You have been busy girl!
I think you are helping me make a decision on how to use the red bolt of fabric I have. That snail trail is wonderful. If I add some off white it would make a great two color quilt. I am not a very good piecer, is it a hard block to piece?
Love, love, love your little apple quilt Deb!!! And it is always so much fun to see that Rainbow Snail's Trail taking shape :*)
Nice work, especially love the little apple quilt!
So cute! Those apples are just adorable. Great red month.
I'm definitely going to need to make a snail's trail quilt! Love yours. And that little apple quilt - gorgeous!!! Hope you got some hand stitching in last night.
Love your apple quilt....it's the perfect project for quilting at this time of the year!
