Okay everyone, here is my block #11. Now don't get too upset with me because I didn't make the lilypad (that's what I'm calling it anyway ;) ). I mentioned in another post that I liked the open/lacy look of most of the blocks so I wanted to keep that look with the "lilypad" blocks. :oops: :oops:
I think I made some improvements in my skills on this block, and I'm hoping they continue to improve as I go along. I'm ready to start on the next block, but I must say that I'm so afraid to do that reverse applique to make that skinny ribbon!!! :shock: :shock: Lesley mentioned that if anyone is making the 7" blocks, they might want to widen it a bit. Well, that's exactly what I'm going to do!!! I just don't think there is enough fabric to turn under -- at least not at my level of skill! These 7" blocks are pretty small, but it's good practice to hone my applique skills! At least that's what I keep telling myself!!!! :lol: :lol: My lacy lilypad block! [ATTACH=CONFIG]222369[/ATTACH] My first two blocks. There are improvements in the second block but still some boo-boos. Hopefully, I'll get better at making those circles and points!!

Very pretty Patty - no quilt police here, and no one to tell you that you have to put that extra background fabric in.

Thank goodness, Lesley!! I was afraid I would have to go into the quilter's protection program (a branch of the witness protection program)!! :shock: :shock:

They are gorgeous and if anything they look better than the original. When you are doing that reverse applique, just cut a small 3" section at a time, sew one side and then the other, then cut again
|
I like the block without the lily pad. Great job!
|
I think your block is lovely without the lilypad.
If I hadn't already stitched mine down, I might have used your idea myself. |

Lots of luck - but I don't think you will need it!

YouŽll be fine. It really is not as hard as you think and like you say if you cut it a bit wider you will be fine.
I cut mine right nto the point and then when I got to the point I did a couple of stitched to hold that bit in place. Good luck, lets know how it goes |
