So I am finally getting back to the paper pieced blocks in the
Doctor Who Along hosted By
Soma and
Caroline...my, I am so many blocks behind...
And this is the block that "stalled me"...it is from one my son's favorite episodes
SS Madame de Pompadour so it was a "required block". I have to keep it real and say that while I love the looks of paper piecing, I do not love putting together all the tiny pieces, lol!! This was a challenging block for me and after I got about halfway done I put it to the side and concentrated on anything but working on it for awhile. Once I got back to it though it went together pretty easily...I guess I just needed a break. There are so many more blocks released in this QAL...I am re-committing to getting them done now.
A friend asked for this recipe and I just so happened to have made it this morning. I think I've shared it here before but here is the
link again if you missed it. We still have lots of apples left from our small backyard orchard and this is a yummy way to use some up :)
And, yes...that extra large piece missing was very good...not such a healthy lunch but it brings a Bill Cosby skit to my mind as I tell you there ARE apples in the cake so it must be good for me...and now I have the energy to get back to quilting...

You are not the only one. I have been watching vintage Doctor Who working on other projects and feeling guilty for not working on who blocks. I love your SS MdP. I found this one tricky - your's looks great!
Wow, that block looks intense! I think I would have given up much sooner than 1/2 way through! I also probably would have cut the middle out of your apple bake and then slid the two outside halves together to make it less noticeable - another good Crosby skit. :)
