I didn't have my machine during Feb., but I finally got it back from the repairman---waaaaaahooooo!! The Feb. Farmhouse Block is kicking my tush. Here is my Barn though -- it isn't perfect, but I like it.

But I still want to try this BOM. Even if mine are not perfect.

The shapes are from appliques designs I purchased on line. They are lots of fun. One of the things I have recently learned as an alternative to tracing my designs to the fusiable backing is to cut my fusible backing *** ( I buy it in rolls from either JoAnns or Walmart " Heat N Bond Sewable Iron on Adhesive" you get 5.25 yards in a roll.) *** I cut it exactlly 8.5" X 11" I place the paper side down into my printer feed on top of the regular printer paper. Then I can scan/copy my design or print a design from the computer itself directly onto the fusible backing. I cut out around the the object and then iron it on the reverse side of what every fabric I want to use my design on. Then once its cooled cut out design remove paper backing and place on fabric where you want it. I like using a small machine blanket stictching to go around my appliques. Mostly because that what was what I was first taught. I think some others use a whip stich, Maybe? Anyway hope this helps a lil in the applique area. Its lots of fun! :thumbup:

Here is my block. Quilt block is a little too large on side of barn, but I was in too much of a rush to finish the barn to redo it smaller. :)

After seeing the blocks the past few months from this BOM, I really want to learn how to applique. Love all the items you can add with this technique.

Love looking at everyone's blocks. Love them all!
