I saw her! I have her twin in mine - I kept just one of those appliques - that was my first attempt at the fusible iron on applique! Oh, and my previous attempt was needle turn about 20 years ago (no exaggeration!). So Mariposa really opened my quilting world with this fun activity. I'm looking at all of the stitches and I see I have more work to do - but it was made with love so that makes up for any lack of stitch skill, doesn't it? :-)
I will look that up - I like the idea of QAYG... for this particular project. Although, FMQ on it does sound like a ton of fun too.
But some days you want your quilt done!

There is a great tutorial here on the board if you'll search for it. The one done by Deb is the one I used. You basically cut your batting the same size as your block and your backing bigger for each block. Quilt each block individually, then cut your backing to 1" larger than the square. After each block is quilted and trimmed you sew them together with the seams turned to the front and them hemmed just like binding. It creates the sashing.
On this quilt, I did sew several blocks together before quilting so as to have the right combination size for the block next to it. I hope this helps you. And by the way---I got one of your blocks. Did you see her? THANKS!
