Really beautiful. In fact, really beautiful doesn't begin to compliment you on your work. I have only done a couple of simple applique projects. I can't see any of your applique stitches. Did you hand applique? You have excited me to try some.
If she did it the way McKenna does it, it is all fused on and then machine stitched around the edges of the pieces. Hundreds of pieces in this block.
Your right I haven't sewn any ofthe fabric down yet I know have to straight stitch all the pieces down. I am going to need alot of patience espically since I still have the other 7 blocks more to stitch as well. I used steam a seam 2 as fusible webbing so everthing is just ironed down at the moment.
