It's time for an update for the Orange Peel QAL.
At the last update I'd completed my first set of 6 peels. I'm doing them in sets of 6 so I can reuse the freezer paper templates. Since then I've completed another 2 sets - yellow, purple and orange.
My next 6 peels are prepared, one more to be basted and then I can start sewing them down to the background. I don't really enjoy the hand sewing and I'm not sure why I didn't machine sew these if I'm honest. I'm definitely not a hand patchworker!
Ah well, I'm more than half way there now so I'm going to keep going!

They look great! Love the color combinations :D
They look charming, anyway!
Oh wow those are really pretty, Wendy! Love the fun colours and prints! I don't enjoy hand sewing either - I used to look forward to doing quilt bindings by hand, but age and arthritis caught up with me - and - just - NO! LOL!! I can do it when necessary, but I don't enjoy it :D
Your orange peals are so pretty! Have to agree with you on the hand sewing bit!
this is coming along well personally I enjoy hand stitching, I find it relaxing unlike when working at the machine I can feel how tense I seem to get
They look lovely, so glad you're carrying on with them
These look great! Love the colors... And I'm with you on the hand sewing. Not sure it's for me but I'm keeping at it :)
That is going to look really nice!
Looking really good!!! Can't wait to see it all finished!
