This is block #9 - Cactus Bloom. The pattern recommends needle turn applique, but I did machine applique with little zig zag stitches. It's a good thing that I will attempt the machine applique!
I think that it turned out pretty well! And I'm not going to be so scared to make the next applique block. Well, I say that now, but I can't make any guarantees. lol
If you are making any small blocks, post a link here. Now, where are my other Midget quilters???

You did a great job with this block! Don't be scared of applique - once you do your first block or two you'll be a pro!
Cute block, I bet it went quicker without all the hand sewing.
Wonderful block. Your applique looks great!
Very pretty and great job on the block. I hope to do one this afternoon during nap time.....wish me luck!
Oh wow -this did come together quickly! Nicely done!!! I have LOTS of catching up to do....
Is it THirsday yet?
It looks great - glad you had luck with the machine applique!
Needle turn scares me. I'm all about the machine applique if I need to do it. Your block looks great!
Ok-SHARE! This block has COMPLETELY halted me in my tracks!!!!!!
Did you cut the center green circle as one piece and then add the red "flower" on top? Then the green leaves?
Time for me to tackle this monster!!!
Well, I got to it on Friday... but at least in the same week!
