I have one under my seat as well, and a zip up bag hanging behind me seat, so I can get a weeks shoppping in that lot, so think how much fabric they would hold.

    Still have the puffy half a face, but now have extra meds that I am hoping will clear it up. I am not a pretty sight at the moment (though I don't think the meds would improve that much).

    Well I have started on my first block tonight. Have three hearts sewn on. Using freezer paper to make a good shape and it is working very well. So far I have not basted around the shapes. finding it easier too with the larger pieces for a 10" block. First one I did was 7" the pieces were tiny.

    When you get to some of the other blocks, Elle, you will be even more happy that you are doing the 10" blocks. I'm not sure how those ladies are working with the smaller blocks. I don't think I could do it.

    I have already looked and quite honestly I don´t like the look of those twirly ones, they look really hard, however as they say in for a penny, in for a pound.......at least where I come from LOL

    If you mean the scrolls, I took loads of pics when I did one of the blocks with them on, which I haven't posted yet, (because I didn't want to worry people until they had tried some hearts and leaves).

    Of course, my pics are of needle turned ones, but I am hoping they will help those who are fairly new to applique
