Fig tree blockheads

 So my week so far: cleaning up the "quilting" room.  It looks better. I really have so many things going and that I want to do. 

I am on the lookout amongst the remaining spots for a paper pieced pattern I purchased a couple years ago as I decided a color combination for it while also getting my UFO list organized. It is still missing in action. 

My focus to finish is my Blockheads 4 which I have made from mostly Fig Tree fabrics. ( 3rd quilt from this combination but using a tan background.) It looks good next to my honey locust leaves which are dropping like snow.

Close up of the corner so you can see the spring green used for the setting blocks and the tiny border.

But the biggest chunk of time went to preparing my applique pieces for my border.  I watched several different quilters to remind myself of what I previously had done. I utilized some of my appliquik gluestick and one of the two metal styluses. It is what I had on hand. I also used Karen Kay Buckley's perfect circles. 

I am also using the new Bosal sheets which are like a slightly stiff web fabric to leave in when completed. It is easy to work with.  It can be printed on, although I just traced, stapled layers together and cut out. 

Now for the leaves and small blob/flower shapes. 

In the meantime, I need to make a Christmas tree skirt for a wedding next weekend with some pretty flannels.
