I cut the grass in very gentle sloping hills, then lay it on the sky. I applique the grass fabric by using a blanket stitch and varigated or green thread. Cut away the excess sky fabric from the back side, and it will lay nice and flat. If you use a decorative spikey stitch for the applique, it will look like grass blades standing up in the background :wink:

awesome fabric, did you see on this board where a quilter took pictures of her fabric on a copy machine and then she was able to figure out how to make the quilt

Yes! That's what I was talking about when I said thank you! That is an awesome idea I am sure I will use again!

Yeah I agree! Wouldn't this work? Then you wouldn't have to cut until you were 150% sure that it was how you wanted.

I like Amma's idea!! That, to me, would be a easiest way and you aren't having to try to sew the curvy seams together and worry about whether is is laying correctly.

Gently fold the fabrics and play with them that way until you're satisfied with the slope and then grab them scissors and snip snip snip.

Amma's way sounds the prettiest and easiest way to do it.

I like your original plan. That is how I do it. You may need to do small clipping and a little persuasive pressing, but with some heavy starch it will look great. Make sure your curves are very smooth.

That is beautiful fabric. I'm sure what you are saying will work. Share your progress with us.
