Nearly all the pieces for the block are cut and I've basted the edges of some of them. Needle-turned applique seems beyond my abilities. Instead, I loosely baste the edges and when stitching the piece to the background, I cut the basting threads as needed--to improve a curve or make an edge narrower or wider, etc.
I will link this post to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts when she posts the link-up.
I hope you have a quiet restful Sunday. If yours are like mine, they are a time to go to church, remember the Lord, and rest in preparation for the coming week. Happy Sunday to you!

If I haven't said so already, Nancy, I love your sampler blocks and your triangle points/corners look fantastic to me. (Sadly, I'm the one with the bad eye for this so... smile) I love your Flower blocks too. What do you think of the Remember Cheri block? I'm thinking of diving in.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jocelyn. I think some of us notice where seams meet (or don't meet) more than others. I know I'm more critical of my imperfect work than anyone else.
DeleteI would do the Remember Cheri blocks if I weren't already involved in two other applique projects. That first block is very sweet. I'll look forward to seeing your block, Jocelyn.
