When RJR Fabrics contacted me to see if I would be interested in joining in on the #whatshaderu blog hop with the Cotton Supreme Solids I was in immediately! Take a quick minute to go and check out all the gorgeous color options in the Cotton Supreme Solid collection! Definitely drool worthy!
I decided to have a quilt featured in August which is the beginning of apple season. Of course – I had to go with an apple themed quilt!
My quilt ‘Cameo Flagstone’ all started with the inspiration of the ‘Apple Flagstone’ block I made for my 52 Twisted Traditions Quilt Along. RJR Fabrics sent me a great miture of quarter yards of different greens, blues, browns, and reds to work with to make my apple quilt dream come true! I mixed in some prints from my stash with the solids.
I put all my slightly modified Apple Flagstone blocks together and then I turned the on point! Yes – this was going to work! I decided to create a horizon line in the corners of each strip on point.
I improvisational pieced together the fabrics to complete the quilt and I’m so happy with how it turned out! I had to share this picture with our new orchard cat, Spiff just taking a stroll by as I photographed my new quilt. I mixed in browns, greens, and blues into my sashing to create the look of branches … it’s abstract but still pretty cool. I’m so happy with how my horizon line turned out!
My aunt, Barb Raisbeck, of Quilts by Barb did the quilting on this piece and it’s absolutely perfect!
I also had a great time mixing in some of the fabrics I purchased at quilt market from the sample sale – including ‘Picnic’ from Cotton N Steel which has a great apple print! It was just perfect! I fussy cut a bunch of them and used them in the cornerstones of the sashing. Just a little bonus you get to see as you study this quilt.
And guess what!? I get to share the goodies with you!

I love Pink Lady and Hubby loves Russets but they seem to have such a short season.
I have two favorites, honeycrisp and gala.
Red delicious for eating, Grannies for cooking/baking.
I love honeycrisp!
I love your quilt, I like how you have the back ground colors as well. I'm probably old fashion but I just like the Red Delicious apple. Sorry I don't know how to do instagram. Wish I could to add my name twice. Thanks for the offer of the gift, what fun colors to play with.
I love Honeycrisp apples – my all-time favorite, although Galas are a close second. Your quilt is beautiful and inspiring – I'm also participating in the hop in September and I'm trying to come up with my design now. So much fun!!

My current favorite is a gala.
Gorgeous! I like Granny Smith's best x
Honey Crisps are my favorite, a short season, but ooooh so good. I just love the quilt. I could see it as a flower trellis, too.
How timely that I came across your post just as I was munching on my favourite Apple: Granny Smith!!

I love it! We grow King apples here–an old commercial variety in the PNW.

What is my favorite apple? That's a tough question since the grocery stores don't always label the variety. I know Golden Delicious is one of them and whatever kind is used in the Mrs. Smith's Dutch Apple Pie. When I was young, we used to pick our own apples at Eckert's Orchard in Grafton, Illinois. Whatever big red ones ripened in early fall are probably my all time favorite. We used to eat those and pick a bunch more to make applesauce.
Like everyone else, we love Honeycrisp–we thought we discovered them, and were so disappointed when they got popular! But my sentimental favorite apple is Gravenstein, which was my dad's fave.

My favorite is Honeycrisp. I find it difficult to find a good apple in our local grocery stores. Do you send apples by mail order?
Sorry Robin! We don't ship apple.
I love all apples, but my favorite are Royal Gala. Thanks!

Long time favorite apple is the McIntosh………loved seeing how it came to be and how old a variety it is on you site. My first visit there and was very impressed with all the information you provide. Cute quilt, as usual!
I've always love the old apples (Jonathan, McIntosh), but they are hard to get. So now it's Honeycrisp. Expensive but worth it. rmgsummers at yahoo dot com
Love your quilt. It is nice to see it on the fence with the cat in front.
My favourite is the Bath Beauty!
I like the Fiji and Gala!

Galas are wonderful!
I would say Honeycrisp, but they've been ruined. Mostly I enjoy Jonagolds currently. I grew up in apple country in Ontario and I miss the Northern Spies there. Can't find them here!
I live in NY near apple orchards. They are all delicious!!!

I like golden delicious apples! We have a small local orchard that makes up their own names too.
I totally agree that your horizon line came out great…very distinguished! I also love the photo bomb of the cat in the picture! I am an apple lover and usually have one a day (keeps the doctor away, you know). My favorite is Braeburn, but my husband prefers Gala. There is always a mixture of some in the fridge keeping chilled!
I love Lodi apples. Nothing makes a better pie that a tart, early apple
I like Granny Smith and my husband likes Gala!

Fuji all the way!
My favorite apples are gala. Love the scrappy background in your quilt, Kim.
The lady who runs a nearby orchard introduced me to Mutsu and Crimson Crisp apples and I liked both of them very well. I also like Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala. Not so good at picking favorites!
Im a classic kinda girl so its Macintosh for me 🙂 Thank You
happily following you on IG 🙂 Thank You! @vintagebarngirl
Always a fan of Macintosh, an early apple. Now I really love Ginger Gold.
I have a tart, early baking apple of some variety in my back yard. By far my favorite!
Honeycrisp is my favorite! Although I love any tart, crisp apple!

I love Lodi or Loti apples. They are very very tart and they make the most amazing applesauces!
And I followed you on instagram.
MacIntosh apples….we drive to NC every year for the Apple Festival in Hendersonville just to get our fix of Macs!!!
I like Gala apples, but after reading about your different varieties, I want to try a Honeycrisp!
I follow you in IG.
We have 8 different varieties of apples in our orchard. Unfortunately, we had a late Mother's Day frost and that took care of all the blossoms for this year so I'm sad to say that there will be no fresh apple pies, no fresh apple sauce, no fresh apple eating–Honeycrisp is my favorite–no fresh apple cider, and no apple wine this year coming from our orchard.
I love Honey Crisp!
I follow you on Instagram.
I love a sweet red apple!
My choice (the one we always get at the grocers) would be Braeburns. It's sad about loosing your Braeburn trees – must be very difficult when that happens – but also good to know they will return soon. Given they are unavailable this year, my second choice would be the Arlet (Swiss Gourmet!) variety – sounds go delicious. Thanks for the giveaway. ktsquiltdreams (at)gmail (dot)com

Wow 60 varieties! I love Golden Delicious!
I like about an kind of apple but I tend to lean toward the Granny Smith for its tartness and easy to use in cooking or just eating

I have become absolutely enamored of the Honey Crisp apples. The perfect blend of Granny Smith type crispness and tartness and yet sweet to eat. Also think your quilt is wonderful. The picture of it outdoors really does convey the feeling of an apple tree.
I like lots of different apples. Granny Smith is one of my favorites. — soparkaveataoldotcom
Uh oh…I'm not a fan of apples! Can I say "Applesauce" or "Applepie"? I like those! Thanks and God bless! ILuvTheEucharist @ aol.com

My favourite apple is Ambrosia – discovered it a couple of years ago and it is grown here in British COlumbia. I have been thinking about you today because I know it is a busy time for apple growers – take care.
