Comfort & Joy Applique

Now that I've finished piecing the different blocks for the Comfort & Joy quilt, I'm trying to catch up to the rest of the group. The reveal of the third block is in a couple days so I'm behind! Yikes!

Here's most of the applique and embroidery done for the first block, although there's a strip of grass with a pathway that will go at the bottom that still needs to be made and I'm thinking about embroidering a star in the upper left corner of the flag.

I'll probably have the block finished tomorrow night and I'll show you then.

It seems kind of funny to be working on a Christmas quilt when I've just finished getting my house ready for the 4th of July and summer!
