Origins Quilt and Applique Block

Here is the Origins quilt top and backing – I got the border put on this morning and pieced the backing.  Now all I need to do it quilt it.

I also finished an applique block for the guild’s raffle quilt.  We are making a variation of Dear Hannah using Kona black and brights.  I have another block that I am working on – it is pieced and I am hand piecing it because I can’t figure out any other way to do it.

Here is the applique block.

The air conditioning finally got fixed today – something so simple that it is embarrassing to admit it.  We suffered with over 90 degree temperatures for five days but it is getting cool as we speak.
