I love all 3 Judy, but darn it girl.....!!!! How did you get those scrolls to play so nicely???? :shock: Hmmm....I think you get the blue ribbon for the day just for that part.
I like your reverse applique too....it always seems to be much harder to me, but I don't guess it really is. You sure made it work well for you!

Thanks for the compliments. I really think that tip about the innie points (taking the three stitches in the applique fabric but not into the background) really helped me with the scrolls and the innie points on the hearts. I am feeling much better about them now.
And, Patti, I am loving reverse applique.

I found that tip about the innie points to be really helpful too...mine are much better now also. I think I would be fine with the reverse applique- except on that block with the really skinny shape that had to be done on my little 7" block...there just wasn't enough fabric to turn it under-thats MHO..and I'm sticking to it..:lol:

And I found on the scrolls if I start up towards the rounded part somewhere they turn out much better for me than if I start down towards the tail anywhere.

Thanks Judy...I still struggle with those leaves that come to a really skinny point. Or the skinny tail on the scrolls.
I always start somewhere in the middle of a shape on the largest area of a smooth arc or flat straight area. I like to start and finish well away from any point...I seem to be able to make the edge smoother when I'm needle turning anyway.
