I have created the leaves and flowers to all four blocks, jsut need to create the stems. Between arthritis and bad eye sight, I am struggling to get these done. I so wanted to make an album quilt.
So I am trying something different this time. I am cutting out the different flower and leaf pieces in pellon and gluing them to the applique fabric. Then turning the edge under and shaping the flower or leaf around the pellon using stick glue and ironing dry. This gets me the individual pieces ready to applique by hand and makes them portable. I can sew the different layers together before I sew it to the background. I still have the background to cut out and mark for placement. Sorry for my long windedness. Just hope I am keeping up. Everyone's blocks look so good and I just love the quilt layout. I am going to expand this to a king size quilt if possible for my bed. Keep up the good work everyone. |

Wow, wow, wow, wow, 1 for each! Great job, love the fabrics! |
Rumbols, I do the same thing. I sew each flower unit then attach to. The background. It' s so much easier.
I trace the furthest back piece on a square of the fabric, then needleturn the other parts, then cut out the piece to attach. So try this instead of the pellon |
