I really, really love your quilt...colors, design...everything. I do have a question, though. You said to sew the right sides together....do you sew the completed figure to the dryer sheet? Or ???? I guess I am dense, but anything to make a chore easier is my cup of tea. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

Never mind giving instructions...I went to "Search" and put "dryer sheets" in the box and voila!!! I got all the info I need. This is a great place to find answers!

WOW! Awesome... there isn't a descriptive word good enough to describe your quilt, so, WOW! I love Sun Bonnet Sue and the fact you used a fan for her skirts...WOW! I love the colours and the overall effect!

Absolutely gorgeous. who's it for? I'm available for adoption if need be!!! hehehehe. Great job. I've used dryer sheets for so many things I do with applique that I'm surprised someone hasn't put it on the market as a quilting tool or aid!

Don't let the dryer sheets idea get out to far. Or you will see it for sale in the quilt stores. :lol: :lol:

That is a great idea, I had never thought of that with the dryer sheets. Do they make your quilt smell wonderful too!? ;) I have used fusible webbing, the Eleanor Burns way, and that works well too. The quilt is beautiful, and I cannot believe it was your first attempt at applique! ;)
