Blessings Quilt, Nutcracker Suite

I've been making progress on the Blessings Quilt.  This was from the Blessings Quilt Series by Jennifer Lokey and Karen Rosien.  This was something I started in 1999 with a group of online quilting friends.  I finished section 1 and 2, and put it in a bag along with the fabrics I had pulled.  I'm currently working on section 3.   I lost sections 4,5 and 6 instructions and am awaiting my order to come in. I have the instructions for the remaining 7-12 sections.  I had this on my list for quarter 2 of the 2019 Finish-A-Long, but not sure I will get it to flimsy stage.  I have a bunch of embroidery to do on the other sections and then a lot of piecing.  

This piece was what I started out with when I pulled it out of the closet.  

    I got this block finished

  

Am working on this one.  At least I put most of my instructions in the notebook!  Have no clue where the other ones are, but I have too much to accomplish this month to look for them.

  

Still need to do more piecing on this one.  Those flowers gave me a hard time.  Probably because I have black and white insructions, and there would be 4 f sections, all of different colors and I kept putting the wrong thngs together.  

So all three of those make up section 3.  I will go on to section 7, at least prepare the embroidery, waiting for sections 4-6. 

On the quarter 2 Finish-A-Long goals was to have 3 of the nutcracker blocks done. I got all 5 of the nutcracker blocks done.   I'm getting this Nutcracker Suite BOM from Shabby Fabrics.  These were laser cut and already had the fusible on them so I machine-stitched them down, and embroidered the details by hand.  

I'll be linking up with Monday Making at Love, Laugh, Quilt, Moving it Forward Monday @Ems Scrapbag and BOMs Away Monday @What a Hoot Quilts.

Thanks for stopping by!
