posted on behalf of fmhall2.
the attached instructions can be adapted to a number of uses. fmhall2 used hers to make a mug rug. i can see it stuffed with something scented to make a sache'. stuffed as a pin cushion. enlarged to make a pillow. used as a fused or needleturn applique motif. the possibilities are limited only by our imaginations. i can't wait to see the photos you post to show us how you used it! :) post them here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...ml#post5829193 |
This looks quite interesting! It will be a fun project!
|
This will be fun, and hopefully I can use up some scraps from paper piecing the Jan block.
|
Any tips for turning under the edges? I went to a needle-turned applique class but it was pretty hard. Maybe just cover up the edges with nice stitching? Oh wait, that's another problem, I'd have to be able to stitch curves. :confused:
|
I will be doning a satin stitche around mine no hand work for me.
|
will be using a interfaceing also on the back of heart befor I start my crazy quilting heart.
|
Is this a block or a Mug rug. I'm not seeing this as a block. It's pretty, but how would you set it with other blocks? Applique?

as stated, fmhall2 used hers to make a mug rug. i applied mine to a background using a satin stitch. there are countless methods for applique. i think there are several in our own Tutorials section: http://www.quiltingboard.com/sitemap/f-10.html a quick google or you tube search should bring up lots of tutorials to choose from. |
Good idea, I used paper piecing foundation but I'm going to remove the paper and use Heat & Bond, then stitch around the edges.

I can't wait to get started! I don't know what it's going to be when I'm finished :) but I've never paper pieced anything and this gives me a place to start. Yes I can!
Thanks for the block! |
