Please tell me about the pink flower in your block. On my monitor it looks like quilted organza or some other reflective fabric. I love it!! :D

The light pink one is a "Michael Miller" print. Its almost like a batik print. It has like a silvery reflective overlay on it which catches the light. The dark pink has a gold flowery print on it. I got both at my local quilt shop. These are the type of fabrics I can never resist buying when I see them. And pink is my favorite color. They are both 100%cotton. I don't even think the picture gives these fabrics any justice at all.

As mentioned in the other thread I am an applique novice! (Understatement!) Those innies and outies just do me in. Otherwise, my tulip is done! Do Not Look too close!:?
I used the freezer paper method and hand stitched these little parts into place. I haven't given up on learning this technique yet! Onward!!!

I like your version don't see anything wrong with your innies and outies

Yvonne, Your block is awesome!!!! Obviously doing it "wrong" is right for you!!! Love the avatar as well!!

Tricia, thanks for telling me about the fabrics!! (They create a great "on-screen" (mine) optical illusion.) My local quilt shop doesn't carry the "metallics" anytime of the year except Christmas. :roll: So, now that I know what I'm looking for, I'll order some.

Hi Patrice:
I love your block...2 little tulips are darling and I love your colors.

Here is the block I made today. Not great but I wanted to try the pattern. I plan to hit Joann Fabric tomorrow to get some varigated thread...it really does make for a much more attractive applique finish.

I'm attaching another picture of a "Strictly Sunshine" quilt top that I finished last night. Still have to put the backing, batting and quilt it. I love it!
