Most of the blocks used for appliqué are from Barbara Dieges’ website http://www.bdieges.com/text/bdpw.html

I had fun with the Mariner’s Compass block, choosing fabric to relate to the months of the year. The January wreath with hats and mittens was my own design. Communities in Bloom sponsored some prizes at our last quilt show, and my quilt was awarded 3rd place in the wall hanging division.
