Thanks Judy - re: Penny Haren, you should give it a try! Her method for doing the pieced applique is really pretty foolproof. Much easier than it looks. Our group has done only 5 blocks so far, and we're on a "catch up" week this week, so you could still jump right in - you can find us in the BOM section if you're interested. We're posting pictures of all the blocks together this week, so there is lots of eye-candy over there right now too.
Really, all I know how to do is fusible applique on the machine and the Penny Haren method that incorporates stiff templates and lots of glue. I'm hoping to learn some better techniques doing AOTH. I'm also planning a tile quilt that I will do needle-turn on - I basted down the first tile quilt block last night - so there is a lot of applique in my future!
