I made this quilt in 2010 or so. It was an ugly fabric challenge from the guild I belonged to at that time. Boy did I luck out. The ugly fabric was the dark print and mixed in well with my love of red. The pattern is taken from the book Darlene Zimmerman's Granny Quilt Decor. (A book that has provided me with endless patterns.)
Since it was done a while back, is it acceptable for me to do some quilting on it now? At the time I made it, I was in a hurry to meet the deadline and ditch stitching was the quickest. I made a mistake in using a fluffy batting and to me the sashing now looks plain and some of the solid color backgrounds need some stitching. I might even add some buttons. What will the quilt police say?
The applique is fused with machine short and narrow blanket stitching. My plan was to have the stitching not take away from the fabric and design with a use of the ugly fabric.

I've been working on my Quilt Doodles block for this month and finished of a bunch of philanthropy quilts. We had a water pipe break three weeks ago and tomorrow will be the last day a service person will be in my home. Hooray!
Spring is on the way. Believe me.

I like it, the cherries are calling to me.
