I loved the soft edge way to applique. I've also made the flannel strip quilt as you go. And I had fun doing that, as well. What are some of your favorite new techniques? I am in the mood for a new experience. Sandy |

You may enjoy fabric folding. I have 2 books on the topic. The photos are gorgeous and the technique is challenging.

Ok I have to ask what is the " soft edge way to applique " ?

What a concept! Why didn't I think of that? lol I have 7 machines. I use them all at different times, but it never occurred to me to set them up with different colors for thread painting. Too logical I guess! lol Thanks for the idea. |
No particular method for me. I just find a quilt I would like to make, and if the technique is new, then I do it! I do like machine applique, and have a couple of projects in mind for it.

Tammy those are awesome. I love Drunkard's Path becasue it creates so many optical illusions although I hand piece my blocks (by preference since I like to have a hand project going during any of my big machine projects...)

I love the 1/4 circle blocks made from the Crazy Curves templates by Elisa's Backporch. No pins! You can make Drunkards Path and all kinds of patterns with them. I've done 3 so far, and will be doing more. Here are 2 I've done.

I really enjoy the stained glass wallhanging I made and I am still trying to perfect landscape quilting.
